ACOUSTICS, MPHIL AND PHD FROM LONDON SOUTH BANK UNIVERSITY
ENERGY SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, MASTER’ S DEGREE FROM CYPRUS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
This program is centred on energy systems and creates engineers who are trained to deduce solutions for complex energy problems. Cyprus is an energy rich country, full of natural resources which could be harnessed to produce electricity. This program aims to create engineers who will help Cyprus in developing environmentally friendly methods of producing energy which will pave its way to becoming an energy rich country. These graduates will have expertise in sub areas including Energy Systems Modeling, Energy Economics, Energy-Environment Relations, Energy Efficient Production / Consumption, Energy Policy, Energy Management, and Renewable Energy Systems. They will be able to devise alternate and sustainable energy sources as compared to harmful imported fossil fuels. The University offers this degree with an option of thesis and non-thesis program, which makes it easy for those who do not want to opt for the thesis to continue the program without writing a thesis.
