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.
