What former students say

I like this study programme because, apart from lectures, there are a lot of practical exercises, which make the studying even more interesting. I have found that the working areas of laboratories are very diverse, and I appreciate that the students can join different projects.
Nina Vodopivc

I have decided to study Telecommunications because this field of study opens up good employment opportunities. The majority of courses are problem-oriented and stimulate the engineering way of thinking. The professors and teaching assistants are always ready for discussion and willing to accept new ideas proposed by the students. At the end of studies I see that I have got a lot of applicable knowledge.
