Development

The advisory board of the Degree Programme in Electrical Engineering and Electronics has favoured the approval of the curriculum in their meeting on 29th of February 2012.

Further information

The studies of the first two years of study are common to all the students in this programme.

During the third and fourth year the students have to complete four professional study modules (each lasting one study period), the Innovation Project module (one semester), two sessions of Work Placement and finally the Bachelor's Thesis.

The students have to as well complete 10 credits of elective studies, which may be taken whenever during the studies.

The schedule of the last two years depends heavily on the selection of the professional modules and the time selected for the two industrial placement periods and the innovation project. The second half of the fourth year is dedicated for the Bachelor's Thesis.

It is possible to cover the Work Placement during summer time between semesters.
