“Our lecturers and staff guide you every step of the way, allowing you to embark on your engineering journey with confidence.”
The focus of Informatics is on high-level computer science and software systems such as Internet communication, virtual storage, hardware and software design.
Here you will learn about electric motors, power generation, renewable energy, energy control and computer controlled power management.
This is where mechanics meets electronics – one of the most exciting fields! It covers the design of robot vehicles, unmanned aeroplanes and satellites.
Electromagnetics and Telecommunication is a fascinating field. This branch focuses on high-frequency techniques and the transmission or reception of data.
Get prepared for the Fourth Industrial revolution by learning to structure, model and analyse large amounts of data in a data-driven society.
Learn how to design and build digital systems and microcomputers to control almost any device, from automatic irrigation systems to aircraft autopilots and satellites targeting their cameras on the ground.
Design electrical transmission systems, large-scale electrical machinery and high-power electronic converters. Find out how to generate power from renewable resources and design battery-powered vehicles.
Get involved with microwave electronic design, antenna and microwave component design, computational electromagnetics, superconducting and ultra-high speed electronics and integrated circuits.
Learn how to design and build digital systems and microcomputers to control almost any device, from automatic irrigation systems to aircraft autopilots and satellites targeting their cameras on the ground.
