The Study Programme - Electrical Engineering and Computing has got a clear goal, to educate engineers, competent for design, fabrication and maintenance of hardware (electronic circuits, devices and systems) and software in all forms of their application. In that, it is particularly cared about students’ acquiring fundamental knowledge, which will represent a good basis for continuation of schooling in master and doctoral studies, but also the applicable knowledge and skills ensuring their inclusion in production.

By finishing the Study Programme - Electrical Engineering and Computing students gain competencies in terms of designing, fabricating, testing and maintaining electronic circuits, devices and systems, as well as the necessary software logistics in the fields of electrical power engineering, microelectronics, electronics, computing and informatics, telecommunications and control systems. After finishing the Study Programme, students acquire the general capacities, as follows: to analyze, synthesize and predict solutions and effects; manage methods, procedures and research processes; develop critical and self-critical thinking and approach; apply knowledge in practice; develop communication capacities and competence, and cooperate with local and international environment; professional ethics.

In the Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Nis there is organized Study Programme of Doctoral Studies, titled: Electrical Engineering and Computing. Academic title acquired is Doctor of Science – in electrical and computer engineering. The outcome of the process of learning is the ability to independently do the scientific-research work, use literature, solve problems, and act creatively to exceede the actual knowledge.

The Study Programme of Doctoral Studies corresponds to the load of 180 ECTS credits. Of that number, 60 ECTS is gained by passing exams in subjects taught, and 120 ECTS by research work, related to doctoral dissertation and the very elaboration and defence of the dissertation. The Study Programme contains optional subjects, selected depending on the optional field, that is narrower scientific field, selected by the student. The Faculty offers 10 optional fields, which comprise subjects related to certain fields of Electrical Engineering and Computing.

Depending on the number of students who applied and the optional fields they applied for, the teaching is organized per semesters or during the year in the form of blok classes. Teaching is conducted during the first two years and the third year is exclusively foreseen for doctoral dissertation elaboration. A student profiles his/her research interest by choosing subjects to study and take, which contribute to knowledge deepening and understanding of the field (theme) of doctoral dissertation. Subjects are taught either in a group or individually (mentorship). Group classes are conducted if there are five or more students in one subject, or if such form of teaching is necessary to organize due to the nature (character) of the subject.

Doctoral studies last 3 years. During all three years of studies, a candidate deals with study – research work in the function of his/her doctoral dissertation, in that, the last year is exclusively intended for doctoral dissertation.

The theme of doctoral dissertation should be in the scientific field within which there is formed the selected field enrolled by the candidate. The Procedure of applying for the thesis, appointment of the Commission, and public verbal defence of the dissertation are defined in the Rule Book on Doctoral Studies.

Master Academic Studies at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering last one year and they total in 60 ECTS credits. The total number of credits necessary for acquiring the academic title Master engineer in Electrical and Computer Engineering for Electrical Power Engineering is 300 ECTS credits. ggg The condition for enrollment in this Study Programme implies finished basic academic studies with, at least, 240 ECTS credits, earned in the basic academic studies in the field of electrical and computer engineering.

The teaching process is conducted through lectures, exercises, and research work. During lectures, a professor verbally presents the prescribed matter, with the aid of computer and modern video projection equipment, with necessary explanations, contributing to better understanding of the matter concerned. In exercises, following the lectures, concrete tasks are being solved, and examples, additionally illustrating the subject matter, are presented.

Exercises may be auditory, computer or laboratory based. Within the independent research work, the student additionally engages himself/herself through seminar paper elaboration or a project. On this study level, the teaching process is conducted in smaller groups where it is possible to pay more attention to each individual student.

During the teaching process, each student’s activity is followed and valuated conformant with the rules adopted on the Faculty level for every course, and students are informed in advance about these. Every course has a corresponding number of ECTS credits, and the entire studies are considered as finished, when the student fulfills all obligations prescribed by the Study Programme and gains, in that way 60 ECTS credits, at least.

After finishing all exams obligations, the student starts elaborating master thesis, which totals in 15 ECTS credits.
