Postgraduate students of
the “Erasmus-Mundus”
programme at AUTh.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the School of Engineering
of AUTh, the Department of Computer Science of the University
of Reading in the UK, and the Department of Telematics of the University of
Carlos III de Madrid in Spain designed and organised a joint course of postgraduate
studies which was approved and funded by the ERASMUS-MUNDUS Initiative
of the European Union.
The title of the course is “Advanced Erasmus-Mundus M.Sc. in Network and
E-Business Centred Computing” and its abbreviation is NeBCC.
The aims of the course are:
• To prepare future professionals for the digital economy, so that they are capable
of understanding the technical underpinnings and business opportunities
of the new economy.
• To provide students who have chosen the specialist e-business route with indepth
study and training encompassing state-of-the-art principles and techniques.
This is provided through a set of in-depth specialist modules.
• To provide students with research and development skills through a substantial
6-month research and development project undertaken in one of the participating
institutions.
• To provide students with an opportunity to study in a multi-cultural environment,
sharing knowledge with other students from different backgrounds.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering considers that its
participation in this programme gives it the opportunity to prove that it can offer
postgraduate educational services comparable and perhaps superior to those
offered by other European Universities which are ranked high in the University
Evaluation lists of their countries.
