Aims
Graduate university study in Electrical Engineering enables students to acquire highly specialist knowledge in the field and to be trained to perform the most complex engineering tasks based on the scientific approach to problem-solving. New specialist knowledge is acquired in electrical engineering, and students are able to apply that knowledge; the same is true for other specialist knowledge in engineering, mathematics, and computer engineering. Students gain the ability to engage in continuing education and professional development, the ability to carry out independent research, to discover new knowledge, to prepare and conduct experiments, and to interpret data. The study enables the acquisition of knowledge and competencies needed for designing new systems, components, or processes, and to act effectively in the role of a team leader. The study programme is similar to those at higher education institutions abroad, but meeting the specific demands of the community and region in which the University of Rijeka Faculty of Engineering operates. The study programme incorporates recommendations from the Bologna Declaration that refer to programme quality assurance, mobility, and diploma recognition.
This study programme enables specialisation in one of the following areas:
- Automation
- Power Engineering
