Electrical Engineering, B Sc
Objectives and Perspectives
The aim of the Electrical Engineering BSc program is to provide a comprehensive education that prepares
our students for a successful engineering practice and advanced studies. Students learn about the basic
physical laws governing our environment, materials science and technology at macro- micro- and
nanometer scales, as well as mathematics and informatics. They acquire practical knowledge in computer
engineering and electronic technology, microelectronics and energy systems, optical materials and
automation. Apart from basic and applied knowledge, students will be trained in e-commerce, planning,
solving and managing problems efficiently. A solid basic education in the Electrical Engineering BSc
program provides a foundation for a successful career in industry and prepares students for further studies
in engineering and informatics.
Requirements
Duration of studies: 7 semesters
Number of teaching (contact) hours: 2,910
Number of required ECTS credits: 210
Major Subjects
During the first year the BSc program offers introductory and advanced courses of Mathematics, Physics,
Informatics, Materials Science, Chemistry that provides a basis for the next step in Advanced Professional
Module, where the accent is on the Electronics, Programming, Digital Technics, Automotion, Electricity
and Magnetism, Measuring Technology and Energetics. Optional Professional Subjects are selected
according to the two specializations (Infotechnology and Automotion) which start in the last three
semesters: Photonics, Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronics, Digital Signal Processing, Electric Drives,
Sensors, PLC, Power Electronics. The courses of Environmental Studies, Economics and Management,
Civil Law and Intellectual Properties support the development of management skills. In the last three
semesters students work in elective laboratories, have a four-week training at factories and make their
thesis research, based on different research programs and co-operation with industrial partners.

Background
The Institute of Physics in Debrecen has about 40 staff members. Half of them are professors and
associate professors with fluent English, with extensive educational and research experience. The Institute
is well equipped with physics, electronic and computer laboratories. We emphasize quality in education and
research by creating platforms for learning and through targeted research excellence, for example in the
nanotechnology field. We have industry partners who participate in research and educational programs,
providing much needed input and resources with positive impact on student training and strengthening
research relationship. Advanced students also have access to the resources of the nearby Institute of
Nuclear Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences with laboratories and an excellent research
library.
