We all use electricity, so these professionals are in high demand in the job market. Studying Electrical Engineering opens the door to learning about the energy system and empowers young people to nurture, improve and manage it. The whole study programme is student-centred, the relationship between teachers and students is friendly and the university environment encourages development.

There were many challenges during my studies, as I got a job while I was still a student, similarly to half of my classmates. The temptation to immerse myself in work more than in studies was the hardest thing to resist, but future aspirations were more important. I believe that education is more meaningful than it may seem at first sight and it certainly does not have to be a cakewalk.

Today, as the entire energy sector is transforming, highly skilled professionals are in high demand, and companies in different sectors are competing for them. Young electrical engineers graduating from this university have not only specific knowledge but also general competencies that allow them to integrate more easily into a company’s operations, to understand business processes more quickly and find their place in a new role.

FAQ

How does the work of an electrical engineer differ from that of an electronics engineer?

Electrical engineers work mainly on the generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy. They design and maintain electrical networks (such as high-voltage power lines, transformers and DC plugs), renewable and conventional power plants, and systems that supply electricity to industry, cities or homes.

An electronics engineer focuses on low-power devices and systems such as electronic equipment, circuits and their components. Their work includes the design of chips, sensors, controllers, microprocessors, signal processing and low-voltage equipment.

Is engineering a promising career option?

Yes, the demand for engineers in the job market is growing every year as they look for ways to solve technological problems and meet the economic needs of society. Without engineers, most devices and processes would be inactive or would not function properly. They create and improve technologies and equipment, design and install systems, and optimise ongoing processes.

How is Electrical Engineering different from other programmes?

Electrical Engineering focuses on the analysis and design of electrical devices, networks and systems, and the integration of different energy sources into electrical power systems. Students will have an understanding of power electronics, energy converters, electrical machines, electrical networks and power plants; they will be able to design and operate electrical, energy and electronic equipment and solve production problems.
