Curriculum: Bachelor Academic Studies - Mechanical Engineering
Elective courses
At the end of the first semester, as well as when enrolling in the 2nd and 3rd year of studies, students choose the courses for that particular year of studies which they want to attend and pass exams in. For each semester, as well as for each course position in the semester, there is a separate elective list. With that respect, the following conditions must be taken into account:
A student can choose only one of the elective courses that are included in the list for the given position.
When choosing a course, the student needs to check the attendance requirements for each individual course.
Classes in an elective course will be held only if a minimum of 10 students enrol in the course.
Students who have a higher average grade have the priority when choosing a particular course.
B.Sc. work
B.Sc. work is an elective course that the student chooses from the list of compulsory or elective courses that he/she has passed during his/her studies or that he/she is currently taking. The course must be a course in the field of mechanical engineering. Classes in this course are carried out through the instructions for creating a project or a seminar paper, and taking the exam is performed exclusively through the defence of a printed final paper (a project or a seminar paper). The exam in the “B.Sc. work” (the defence of the paper) cannot be taken until all other exams have been passed.
Diploma certificate
In the Diploma certificate of Bachelor Academic Studies – Mechanical Engineering (ECTS 180), the acquired professional title of a MECHANICAL ENGINEER (abbreviated as B.Sc. ME) will be stated, while the Diploma supplement will contain a list of courses the student has attended and passed the exams in. In international terms, this title corresponds to the title of the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. – in Latin Baccalaureus Scientiæ).
Starting from October 1st, 2019, a new nationally accredited study programme of Bachelor Academic Studies - Information Technologies in Mechanical Engineering has been implemented. The studies last for 3 years and are worth 180 ECTS credits.
The main objective of the study programme Bachelor Academic Studies – Information Technologies in Mechanical Engineering
