Duration
Students of the Master degree course in "Telecommunications Engineering" are imparted the knowledge and capability which they require for a career as Telecommunications Engineers, enabling them to contribute towards developments in their field, communicate with colleagues of different disciplines at specialist level or to enter postgraduate studies. Graduates in the Telecommunications Engineering field are prepared to deal with important topics in wireless communications, personal, mobile and fixed communications, QoS issues, RF planning. They are provided in-depth training in design, analysis and management skills relevant to the theory and practice of the (fixed and- wireless) communications industry. They also acquire an introduction to a broad spectrum of engineering application areas, where they can easily incorporate their specialist knowledge in new application areas:
- Wireless Communication Systems
- Personal and Mobile Communication Systems
- Satellite and Fixed Communication systems
- Optical Fibre Communication
- Network Planning and Management
- Hybridization of Computer and communication Networks
- RF and Microwave Subsystem
To be eligible for admission into the M.Sc programme a candidate must possess:
- A minimum of Second Class Honours degree in Computer / Communications / Electrical / Electronic Engineering from a recognized University or equivalent Institution.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Computer / Communications/ Electrical / Electronic / Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering with final CGPA of 3.50 on a 4-point or 4.00 on a 5-point grade scale from a recognized University or equivalent institution. However, priority will be given to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Postgraduate Diploma graduates.
- A Third Class Honours degree in Computer/Communications Electrical/Electronic Engineering from a recognized University of equivalent Institution with a minimum of five (5) years post-graduation experience.
- In addition to (a) and (c) above, a candidate must score at least 50% in the entrance examination to be considered for admission.
Where necessary candidates may be required to clear or make up for deficiency in previous training. Each case will be considered individually by the Departmental PG Committee, which will recommend the undergraduate Electrical/Computer/Communication Engineering courses that must be taken by the candidate to clear the deficiencies.
To graduate at the M.Sc level, a student must complete all PG and Departmental requirements. In addition, a student must satisfy the following:
- Satisfactory completion of coursework requirements (at least 30 credit units)
- Presentation of a Research Proposal
- Presentation of the required number of seminars on the research
- Completion and defense of dissertation to the satisfaction of internal and external examiners as well as satisfying the requirements of the School of Postgraduate Studies and Senate of the University.
- Any additional requirements as may be specified from time to time.
The total minimum requirement for the Master's degree comprises 30 credit units for coursework and 4 credit units for seminars and 8 credit units for dissertation, making a total of 42 credit units.
NOTE: A candidate can be presented for examination for the M.Sc after a minimum of 18 months if he/she has satisfied all the above requirements.
Course Requirements
1. A student must score a minimum of 50% in all courses taken towards the degree.
2. Each student will be expected to pass the entire COMMON courses, CORE and a specified minimum number (1) of ELECTIVE (3 Credits) courses depending on the specialization.
3. A student wishing to pursue a Ph.D degree in the Department upon completion of the M.Sc degree is advised to consider offering more elective courses (coursework requirement for PhD is 45CUs inclusive of MSc CUs).
