The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program is intended to qualify students to begin a professional career in the field of Computer Engineering as engineers or to pursue further advanced post-graduate studies at the level of Masters or Doctorate degrees. The major engineering courses of the Bachelor’s program contain, apart from theory and fundamental principles, elements of analysis and design, as well as significant laboratory work.
The graduate of this program should:
The program is has both an academic and market orientation. Thus, it is targeting students that intend to pursue post-graduate studies, as well as those that will enter the job market after graduation.
By pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering (CE) at the University of Nicosia, a student acquires technical knowledge and analytical skills to effectively tackle engineering problems and provide viable solutions. Recently, the CE programme degree has been acknowledged by the Scientific and Technical Chamber of Cyprus, thus allowing students to work in their field of studies in both the government and private sectors of the island. The CE graduate, thus, can:

Course assessment usually comprises of a comprehensive final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment can include amongst others, mid terms, projects, and class participation. Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.
Generally, the deadline for applying
The minimum admission requirement is a recognized High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC). Students with a lower HSLC grade than 7.5/10 or 15/20 or equivalent, depending on the grading system of the country issuing the HSLC, are provided with extra academic guidance and monitoring during the first year of their studies. Some programmes have higher entry requirements

Master students satisfy the English requirements if their first degree was taught in English. Otherwise, they would need to present a minimum TOEFL score of 550 paper-based or 213 computer-based, GCSE “O” Level or IGCSE with minimum “C”, IELTS with a score of 6.5, or a score placement at the ENGL- 100 level of UNIC’s NEPTON. The University offers English courses at various levels to help students reach the required standard for admission to a graduate programme.
1. The purpose of this test is to place students in the appropriate level of English in order to support their academic studies at the University. The NEPTON is not a University entrance examination; previous academic performance (e.g. School Leaving Certificate) is taken into consideration with regard to University entrance requirements.
2. The number of additional courses and corresponding course loads are given in the table below:
Level of English | Hour of tuition/work | Credits | Additional course load permitted |
---|---|---|---|
ENGL-101 English Composition | 3 | 6 | Normal |
ENGL-100 Basic Writing | 3 | 6 | Normal |
BENG-100 College English | 6 | 6 | Normal |
BENG-070 English Language Skills | 12 | 4 | 6 credit hours |
BENG-060 English for Beginners | 20 | 2 | No other credits |
