Master's Program in Electronic Engineering - Communications

The University of Science and Technology (UST) seeks, through the provision of its Master’s Program in Electronic/Communications Engineering, to offer a distinguished program that enhances the scientific and research competencies of enrolled students. The program is designed to enable students to conduct research that contributes to community development and addresses field‑related challenges. This is achieved through an exceptional academic faculty and advanced educational resources.
Since the program was established in 2014, we have worked to bridge the technological gap; the Communications Program has supplied the market with 13 engineers.
