MEng in Computer Engineering in Charlottesville United States | University of Virginia

The Computer Engineering Program (CpE) offers admission to two Graduate degrees, a research oriented Doctoral Degree (PhD) and an industry oriented Masters of Engineering (ME) Degree. (Note: Students who are interested in Research and have completed a Bachelor of Science degree are encouraged to apply directly to the PhD Program. A Master of Science Degree may be earned on the way to the PhD Degree.) Students in the PhD program are generally supported with a teaching or research assistantship. Students in the ME program pay tuition while taking courses. The submission of GRE scores is optional. All students whose first language is not English are also required to submit TOEFL or IELTs scores. However, TOEFL/IELTS is not required if the applicant has received a 4-year degree at an English-speaking institution (whether or not the institution is in the U.S.). If the applicant has a 4-year degree from a non-English-speaking institution and a Master's degree from an English-speaking institution, TOEFL/IELTS is still required. Most students admitted score at least 24 on all areas of the TOEFL, or a minimum of 7.0 on the IELTS in each area. Although we do not require applicants to have a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, we do expect all applicants to have a strong background in both computing and electronic systems.
