BA/BS in Automatics and Electrical Engineering

This programme trains electrical engineers to select, install, adjust and operate electrical and automation equipment and systems, drawing on an interdisciplinary mix of electrical and electronics engineering. Major subjects cover electro-technical materials, electrical measurements, theoretical electrical engineering, electrical drives, power generation technology and consumer electrical networks, paired with automation subjects such as logic controller programming and applied electronics. Twenty weeks of practice cover electrical installation, equipment installation and operation, and automation equipment work, ahead of a graduation placement. Students can specialise in areas such as electrical drive control, building monitoring and control, or programmable logic controller systems, with further electives in languages, philosophy, management or law. Teaching uses lectures, workshops and laboratory work, assessed through a criteria-based ten-point scheme built from interim and practical tasks. Graduates can work as electrical engineers in network, installation, repair or process-automation companies, or continue into second-cycle study in electrical or electronic engineering.
