Introduction
The Inter-departmental Postgraduate Programme "Energy Technologies and Sustainable Design" (IPP-ETSD) offers specialization in the discipline of Energy Technologies within the frame of Sustainable Design. The interdisciplinary nature of the Master’s Program allows students to come into contact with subjects from a wide range of scientific backgrounds and work with fellow students of different disciplines to develop synergies and complementarities for achieving common objectives. Graduates of the program can thus gain more comprehensive and multidisciplinary training in such a diverse subject area as Energy.
The IPP-ETSD has been offered by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cyprus since September 2010. In this postgraduate program all the Departments of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cyprus are involved (in alphabetical order):
- Department of Architecture (ARCH)
- Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
- Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (MEE)
- Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)
For the award of the Master MSc degree it is required to successfully complete the program of studies that also includes the Thesis Research and the Advanced Project, as described in detail below. The minimum duration of the Master M.Sc. program for full-time students is three academic semesters.
