The aim of the three-year Bachelor’s programme in Electrical Engineering is to give you a broad basic foundation in the subject. You will explore the most important areas of electrical engineering. The modules and projects have been carefully selected to give you a good impression of the field as a whole. When you complete the Bachelor’s programme, you will be awarded a Bachelor’s degree.

This degree signifies that you have completed the basic programme. It is recognized throughout the world and grants you admission to a Master’s degree programme. It may be also a good starting point for embarking on a career.

THE UNIVERSITY CALENDAR

The first year

The subjects of the first year are electrical networks, electronics, computer science and electromagnetics. Of course there is a substantial fraction math. In the first quarter you will get an overview over the field of electrical engineering, you will learn some basic notions needed in engineering, skills to plan, perform and report on experimental work, programming and calculus. The second quarter is devoted to electrical networks. Network analysis is quite challenging, since you have to learn a lot of techniques and a way of thinking about systems which is characteristic for electrical engineering. In the third module you will use much of what you have learned in the first half year to learn how to design electronic functions. These three quarters are organised in modules. You will get a single grade for your work in the modules.

The last quarter of the first year is devoted to electromagnetism, digital logic and calculus. Electromagnetism will give you the theoretical basis for understanding more advanced subjects on communication, data storage, sensors and optics in the next two years. Digital logic is the basis form for whatever you will do with computers.

The second and third year

The second and third years are used to expand your knowledge and will confront you with more advanced subjects. Mastering these subjects require a basic understanding of the first year’s program: Systems Engineering, Control Theory, Electrical Engineering Components and Signal Processing are all included in the curriculum. In the second year, you will also be introduced to some main areas of application, i.e. Telematics, Optics and Mechatronics. The second year is rounded off with a large-scale project.

A big part of the third year is devoted for widening your academic scope: the minor. About 30 programs are offered on subjects outside electrical engineering from which you make a choice. The subjects of the minors range from music to philosophy to mechanical engineering or biomedical engineering. The bachelor is completed with an individual assignment in which you work in one of the research groups in the department of Electrical Engineering.
