Electrical Engineering

Type: 1st cycle studies (BSc) ans 2nd cycle studies (MSc)
Profile: general academic
Form of study: full-time and part-time

Electrical Engineering deals with the theory and practical use of physical phenomena related to electricity and magnetism. The scope of Electrical Engineering covers: electrical energy generation, transfer and use, techniques of measuring physical parameters, electrical signals processing and analysis. Apart from a vast spectrum of issues typical of electrical engineering, our students are acquainted with novel achievements in:

  • designing and diagnostics of power systems,

  • effective (power-saving) use of electrical energy,

  • renewable energy sources,

  • designing of intelligent buildings,

  • novel electrical driving systems,

  • microprocessor techniques,

  • telemeasurements and wireless measuring systems,

  • biomedical measurements and aiding methods for medical diagnostics,

  • measurement of traffic parameters,

  • designing and investigation of highly-integrated systems.


1st cycle studies last seven semesters (full-time studies) and nine semesters (part-time studies), and are concluded with a diploma thesis. The graduate is granted a BSc degree. The study program covers groups of basic subjects, directional subjects and specialist subjects (power engineering, use of electrical energy, control systems and measuring systems.

2nd cycle studies follow specialization courses. They last 3 semesters (full-time studies) and 4 semesters (part-time studies) and are concluded with a diploma thesis. The graduate is granted an MSc degree. The graduate is equipped with advanced and solid knowledge on designing, building, functioning, analyzing and testing electrical equipment, computer measuring systems and digital control systems. The graduate can select and use proper informatic and electronic tools for electrical engineering purposes.


The 2nd cycle full-time students are offered 5 specializations:
