3. Equip students with postgraduate level knowledge, tools and methodologies on Advanced Electrical Engineering Topics pertinent to three areas of study: generation transmission and distribution of Electric Power via conventional or renewable energy sources, Telecommunication Systems and Automation and Control Systems
4. Equip students with competent skills and experience, developing their ability to engage in the engineering design process via a systematic breakdown of real world problems, identification of design requirements and the utilization of analytical, software and experimental tools for the analysis, design, development and performance evaluation of effective solutions.
5. Develop student awareness on recent advancements, key technologies, future trends and state of the art challenges in Electrical Engineering.
6. Develop the ability of students to continuously learn and self-develop by accessing appropriate information sources as for example textbooks, research articles, online resources and seminars.  
7. Engage students in the research process by successfully applying the research methodology in a guided manner.
8. Engage students in research activities in key technology fields and help them to acquire the required knowledge and develop the necessary skills that will allow them to adapt and evolve in the fast evolving discipline of Electrical Engineering and pursue further Doctoral Studies.
9. Develop the students’ transferable skills needed to ensure a successful academic or professional career in the field of Electrical Engineering,
10. Prepare the students for direct employment after graduation by integrating theory with practice, through activities like work placement and the preparation for certification exams.
