The qualification holder will be able to: 

(general competences)

  • carry out autonomous and creative research in the field of electrical engineering and more widely, 
  • autonomously keep abreast of the latest achievements in the electrical engineering field and critically assess them, 
  • communicate actively in writing and orally, both at a high technical level and at a popular level adapted to the target audience, 
  • make effective use of information and communication technologies and develop them, 
  • show professional, environmental and social responsibility, 
  • work in a team with experts from various fields

(subject-specific competences)

  • demonstrate comprehensive mastery of basic and high-level expert
  • electrical engineering knowledge,
  • acquire knowledge from complementary technical fields and the business sector, demonstrate that they understand it, 
  • and assess it critically,
  • plan and implement complex automated systems,
  • plan and implement complex devices in the field of biomedical engineering,
  • plan and implement complex power installations,
  • plan and implement complex electronic assemblies and devices,
  • plan and implement complex mechatronic systems and power electronics devices,
  • plan and implement complex robotic systems,
  • plan and implement complex telecommunications networks and information systems.

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

In order to progress to the next year, full-time and part-time students must have completed the course units prescribed by the study programme (lectures, practical classes, written tests, seminars, etc.) and gained the prescribed number of credits from the study programme by passing examinations.

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

In order to complete the programme, students must complete all course units in all subjects in which they have enrolled, and write and defend a master's thesis.
