Name of programme: Electrical Engineering Type of programme: doctoral programme Cycle of study: third cycle Duration of programme: 4 years (8 semesters) Number of ECTS credits: 240 Academic discipline: engineering and technolog y Academic title: doktor/doktorica znanosti Abbreviation: Dr (preceding the name) The doctoral study programme in Electrical Engineering has a duration of four years, consists of 240 credits and is a third-cycle programme under the Bologna scheme. Course units are allocated credits under the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), which provides a basis for international student exchanges in countries that use the same or a comparable system of credits. Within the Electrical Engineering programme, academic study is inextricably linked to research and development work. The principal focus of the programme is on autonomous creative research by the student, directed by a supervisor. The programme gives priority to elective courses over compulsory courses. In order to cover the whole of the constantly expanding field of modern electrical engineering, the range of content offered by the programme is broad and varied. The elective element gives the student the opportunity to plan their own research career from an early stage and to keep abreast of the needs of prospective employers. At the same time, via compulsory seminars and the inclusion of elective generic content (transferrable skills), we ensure an adequate breadth of education. Mobility is possible within the programme both in the context of taught elements and as part of individual research. Students are expected to participate actively in domestic and international academic and specialist workshops and conferences during their studies. This gives the student the opportunity to develop skills such as scientific communication and critical assessment of the achievements of others and of the results of their own research. The essential obligations of the doctoral candidate include the proposal and writing of a doctoral dissertation. The doctoral dissertation is an opportunity for the candidate to demonstrate, in addition to their capacity for scientific thinking and their ability to
