UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

The degree requirement

The degree requirement at the undergraduate studies are 5 years curricula, which
means 9 semester x 14 weeks x 27 hours (approximately) =3444 hours plus one semester (14 weeks) for the written thesis. The undergraduate studies are organized in four basic divisions:
  1. Power engineering
  2. Electronics, telecommunications and control
  3. Computer engineering and computer science
  4. Physical electronics

Together they offer 9 different curricula each of them containing 38 to 41 exams. The
difference in the number of exams is caused by the different course duration (one or two semesters).
The passing grades on the exam are from 6 to 10, 10 being the highest possible grade.
After completing the whole curricula, the student is required to submit a written
Diploma thesis, which is later orally presented. Upon successful thesis presentation, a student is entitled to the degree. The degree awarded is Diplomirani in`enjer (Dipl. Ing.) in electrical engineering.
The average number of graduating students is between 300 and 350 per year.

Enrollment

The academic year starts at the beginning of October and ends on the 30-th of
September.
At the beginning of May an open competition for the enrollment of a given number of
students in the first year of undergraduate studies is announced. Typically, the School enrolls around 120 students in the Power engineering division and 330 students in other divisions. The number of foreign students is not limited.
The submission of applications for the enrollment as well as he classifying exams
occurs at the end of June.
The applicant is requested to submit the diploma and the certificates of the last four
years of secondary education. For each year an average grade is calculated on the scale 1 to 5 so that the maximum number of points which can be obtained equals 20. In addition the applicant is required to take two exams in Mathematics and Physics which are graded on the scale 0 to 18 and 0 to 12, respectively. The total number of points based on the secondary education as well as on the exams determines the applicant's rank. The applicant can be enrolled in the first year if his rank falls within the number of available places.

Foreign citizens

With the application for the enrollment in the first year the applicant is required to
submit:

Regardless of the fact that the number of foreign students might not be limited,
foreign citizens are required to take the entrance exams.

Curricula

The basic organization of the undergraduate studies together with the complete
curricula are enclosed at the appendix. The first year courses are identical for all divisions, while the second year courses on the Power engineering division differ from those on the remaining divisions. Upon completing the second year the students in the general curriculum enroll into one of the three divisions. Since the number of available places at each division is limited the actual enrollment depends on the student preferences as well as on the success during the first two years. After the third year the student has a free choice of the one of the offered curricula at his or hers division.

The underlying idea in all curricula was to provide the strong basic theoretical
knowledge within the first two years. Fundamentals of the professional subjects relevant for the particular division are studied in the third year, while within the last two years the student is specializing in the chosen area. Several elective courses provide the possibility to go deeper into the particular subject (through the selected topics type courses) or to broaden the knowledge in some different area (through the courses from other divisions)
