Description
Abstract An engineering degree opens up a wide range of career opportunities that can foster development in both
the business and technology worlds. Telecommunications technology and data transmission engineering
practice with communications systems and large-scale data networks that display, process, store and
transmit analogue and digital information. For many years, the telecommunication and data transmission
sectors are one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Therefore, the study programme is designed
to meet the growing demand for qualified specialists in this rapidly developing industry. The study
programme introduces methods, theories, principles, and technologies to solve topical problems of signal
transmission and reception, information security aspects, compatibility, interconnection, and coexistence
of various communication networks, as well as the design of communication systems. Students gain
competitive knowledge of modern communication technologies, telecommunication and data transmission
systems, computer networks, basics of programming languages, mobile network architecture, etc. Both the
study programme and the academic staff are open to innovation and modern interactive teaching methods.
The study programme regularly includes new university-level study courses in perspective directions, as
well invites experienced foreign guest lecturers.
Aim The study programme aim is to provide students with the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and research
skills in the field of engineering, which is based on theoretical principles in the fields of
telecommunication technology and data transmission; to prepare innovative-minded specialists focused on
the introduction of new technologies and knowledge with internationally competitive academic education.
The aim and tasks of the study programme are formulated based on surveys of the needs and requirements
of stakeholders (potential employers, universities, students, society, and scientific institutions) to graduate.
Tasks Tasks of the study programme:
- to provide competitive education in the fields of telecommunication technologies and data transmission
in accordance with the level of bachelor's studies and international standards;
- to provide the basics of fundamental sciences necessary for the acquisition of theoretical study courses in
the field;
- to ensure the acquisition of specialized knowledge characteristic of the study program and the ability to
apply it for the formulation and solution of tasks in telecommunication technology and data transmission
engineering;
- to provide students with knowledge about the use of computer tools in the analysis, modeling, design,
and programming of individual modules;

process, scientific research work, following changes in the field of telecommunication and data
transmission, international practice, science;
- to provide students with comprehensive internationally competitive knowledge and develop competence
following the market-defined requirements for telecommunications and communications engineers,
preparing for practical work in the design, development, and maintenance of communications systems,
large-scale data transmission, and processing;
- to develop students' skills to perform high-quality acquisition, selection, analysis of necessary
information, use for decision-making, as well as solving problems in the telecommunication and data
transmission sector;
- to promote students' interest in further supplementation of academic knowledge and further studies, to
develop research skills, and to promote their practical use;
- to stimulate the interest of students in the processes taking place in society, to stimulate their
development towards a positive, modern, responsible, ethical and capable personality able to act
independently and make decisions;
- to promote international mobility and participation in projects.
Learning outcomes Graduate of the study programme:

and calculations, prepare summarized reports, present them;
- is able to apply current technologies and software in the process of designing telecommunication and data
transmission systems;
- is able to perform an analysis of the situation regarding current problems in telecommunications data
transmission systems and their solutions, based on the study of literature and information available on the
Internet;
- is able to perform diagnostics of telecommunications networks and equipment, and evaluation of the
main operating parameters;
- is able to work individually and in a team, to continue learning and educating in the field of
telecommunications and data transmission systems, to act in a sustainable, ethical and responsible manner
so as not to cause harm to society and the environment.
Final/state examination procedure, The acquisition of the study programme concludes with a final exam, which includes the development of
assessment an
independent bachelor's thesis and public defence in an open session of the Final Examination Commission
(FEC) on-site or using secure video conferencing and online meeting e-platform.
The development and defence of the bachelor's thesis is part of the final exam on the academic curriculum,
the purpose of which is to test the student's abilities and skills to independently solve problems and work in
the field. The bachelor's thesis is an analytical study with elements of scientific work in the field of
telecommunications and data transmission systems on a relevant topic, selected by the student individually
and approved by the scientific advisor.
The FEC consists of the head of the commission and at least two members of the commission. Students’
knowledge, skills, and competencies are collectively assessed by the FEC in a closed session on a 10-grade
scale, based on the author's report, the quality of answers to questions related to the developed work and
remarks of supervisor and reviewer, as well as considering the assessment of the supervisor and reviewer.
Description of the future employment Graduates of the study programme can become internationally competitive consultants, designers,
technicians, engineers, infrastructure specialists, specialists of telecommunication systems analysis and
monitoring, telecommunication technology solution development and implementation specialists,
scientists.
The knowledge acquired during the studies allows establishing your own company, holding leading
positions in private companies or public institutions, as well as managing high-level engineering projects
in the required fields of modern technologies.
Potential employers:
• telecommunications companies;
• IT companies;
• higher education institutions;
• scientific research institutions;
• production units in the field.
Special enrollment requirements English language proficiency equivalent to at least CEFR B2 level.
