Our undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor of Science (BSc.) degree in Electrical Engineering, which is completed over four years of intensive study. The program is designed to provide students with a well-rounded education in all areas of electrical engineering, rather than specializing in a specific field. However, for those interested in specialization, we offer postgraduate studies in power, communications, and control.

To support our students’ learning journey, our department boasts 11 well-equipped laboratories covering various areas such as power, machines, communications, electronics, computers, and control. These laboratories are integral to our curriculum, offering hands-on experiences and practical applications of the theoretical concepts learned in class. In total, we offer 21 laboratory courses, providing extensive opportunities for experimentation and skill development.

As part of our commitment to international standards, all courses, textbooks, and lectures in our department are conducted in English. This ensures that our graduates are well-prepared to thrive in a globalized and interconnected world, with the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in an international context.

Join us in the Department of Electrical Engineering, where tradition meets innovation, and become part of a vibrant community of learners and creators. Together, we will shape the future of the industry and make a lasting impact on our region.
