Infocommunication Systems specialisation
BSc degree program in Electrical Engineering
Scope
The topic of infocommunications covers the field of network technologies, related applications and network services. The specialization focuses on practical skills of
- deployment, configuration and operation of networked systems and services,
- modern network technologies,
- delivery and processing technologies of media content,
- high frequency and satellite systems components,
- radio measurement systems and applications.
Students who complete this specialisation will obtain a thorough understanding of the state-of-the-art technologies of communication networks and will be capable of designing, implementing and operating communications services over new generation telecommunications networks, in particular multimedia services. Graduated students have great opportunities for employment at network- and content providers, manufacturers, e-commercial and government infocommunications network operators as well as small/medium enterprises developing value-added solutions.
The specialisation is managed in cooperation with HIT, HVT and TMIT departments.
Possibilities for further studies
- Multimedia Systems and Service specialization, MSc
- PhD studies after completing MSc degree
