Study aims

The aim of the study programme is mastering of the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills provided by training not yet available on the market, though highly necessary in the view of the development and expansion of electrotechnical fields in the present globalising world, and considering the position of the English language as the global communication tool, which is particularly true for electrical engineering and information technology.The aim of the study programme is to equip the students with fundamental knowledge of electrotechnical study areas and particularly with the competences in professional language at the level C1 of the Common European Reference Framework (SERR).

Graduate profile

Study plan creation

The curriculum is composed in such a way that the students are trained to gradually master the English language in subjects Practical English and at the same time receive training in electrical engineering and information technology. The lecturing in subjects focused on electrical engineering and information technology will be in English (70%), only summarizing and discussion will be in Czech (30%). This will further improve the students‘ language knowledge. The subjects dealing with theoretical linguistics require a higher level of language knowledge, and therefore they are included in the curriculum for the second and third year of study.

Availability for the disabled

All lecture rooms at the FEEC BUT allow disabled access; students, however, must meet the medical standards to acquire the necessary electrotechnical qualifications. In laboratory classes and practicals, students are required to independently operate measuring instruments and related equipment without endangering human health or damaging property.

What degree programme types may have preceded
