Course Summary


The Master of Science in Engineering Management (MEM) Program aims at producing graduates that are equipped with deep understanding of the latest technologies and practices in the field of Engineering Management, coupled with essential management knowledge.

The MEM program aims to bridge the divide between engineering, technically-focused Master’s programs and the business-oriented MBA programs. Engineering and Business Management do not exist in isolation but merge in the industry. The proposed program, realizing this relation, is specifically designed to address the engineering aspects and the management issues that pertain technological organizations.

Central to the proposed MEM program is the emphasis on engineering management challenges in Small to Medium Enterprises (SME), the dominant sector of engineering and technological organizations in Cyprus and the greater region.

Specialization in Oil & Gas Management and Energy Management

Given the continually increasing importance of energy-related issues in Europe and beyond, and in particular the monumental advancements occurring with the discovery of significant reserves of natural gas, and possibly oil as well, in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Cyprus, the program of Engineering Management decided to establish a specialization stream, that of Oil & Gas Management and Energy Management. The aim of the program is to adequately prepare young engineers and young managers with the management challenges in these fields. These will include elements relating to project and supply chain management, energy demand and energy economics, as well as specialized courses relating to oil and gas engineering and process engineering.

 

The language of instruction is English.

Application deadline

Frederick University academic year consists of the fall and spring semesters. The calendar is arranged so that students may start classes either during the last week of September or the first week of February. Candidates may submit an application for admission in any of the semesters. Due to the fact that formalities for the issue of an entry visa take at least 6 weeks, candidates are urged to file an application at least 8 weeks prior to the expected date of enrolment. Students are expected to be on campus prior to the beginning of the intended semester/session. In response to arising need, courses could be provided within the summer period.

Entry requirements

Qualification requirements

The application to the Migration Department must be supported by evidence that they have paid their tuition fees for the semester, have enough funds for their initial living expenses and have obtained local health insurance coverage.

B. Applicants from non EU countries
International Students from non EU countries need to have a valid student visa in order to be allowed to enter Cyprus. The issue of an entry visa takes about 6 weeks from the date of the submission of the application. It is therefore recommended that candidates submit their application at least 8 weeks before the beginning of the semester. Cyprus Migration Department requirements in respect of the issue of a student visa, which from time to time may be modified, are available to candidates in a separate document.

Applicants are requested to contact the Office of Admissions to receive information and guidance regarding the proper documentation and formalities to be followed.

Additional entry requirements
