The postgraduate activity in the Department is the biggest engineering research activity in South Africa and offers students access to very advanced laboratories and facilities. Research is performed in close cooperation with local industry as well as international partners.
Students not currently enrolled at Stellenbosch University should contact Mr Larry Morkel, at lmorkel@sun.ac.za for more information.
Our department offers one Master’s programme, namely the MEng (in Electrical OR Electronic Engineering) and a new Structured MEng in Smart Grid Technology, in Electrical Engineering.
.
The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering runs a large Doctoral programme. Two programmes are offered, namely the PhD and the DEng.
The research activities of the department can be divided into the following broad research divisions:
