Electrical Engineering | Technical University of Sofia

Why choose this specialty?

In the specialty "Electrical Engineering", knowledge and skills are developed in a number of expert areas such as:

- The production, conversion, and use of electrical energy
- The design, operating principles, control, and application areas of electrical engineering facilities
- Modern methods and tools for scientific research, analysis, and design of electromechanical converters, switching and control equipment, and renewable energy sources
Here, opportunities are provided for successful career realization in research, design, engineering, and manufacturing companies in various areas of industry in both the public and private sectors.

What are the admission requirements?

Application for the educational and qualification degree (EQD) "Bachelor" is based on the results of successfully passed state maturity exams (maturities) and/or a competitive exam. More detailed information can be found in the applicant handbook of the Technical University - Sofia.

For the EQD "Master" in the specialty "Electrical Engineering", all those who have completed an EQD "Bachelor" or "Master" in the specialties of Professional Direction 5.2 "Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation" and 5.3 "Communications and Computer Engineering" are eligible to apply.

Compensatory Training
Those who have completed an EQD "Bachelor" or "Master" in other specialties may apply for Compensatory Training, which is paid and includes the study of the core disciplines forming the specialty "Electrical Engineering". Recognition of previously studied disciplines is allowed. The duration of the compensatory training is one year, but by itself it does not confer an additional qualification degree. After completing the compensatory training, students continue their studies for the EQD "Master" on a paid basis.

Supplementary Training for Graduates with a "Professional Bachelor"
Graduates with an EQD "Professional Bachelor" in Professional Direction 5.2 Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation are offered supplementary training, which lasts one year. In accordance with the curriculum, 60 ECTS credits are provided for this training. The supplementary training is paid only. Applicants must have a grade of at least "Good", derived from the course of study and the diploma defense, as stated on the diploma for the completed EQD "Professional Bachelor". Recognition of previously studied disciplines is allowed. After successfully completing the supplementary training, students continue their studies in the EQD "Master" on a paid basis.

What will I learn?

During the first three semesters, subjects are studied to build fundamental knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, electrical engineering, electronics, computer science, foreign language.
During the next 4 semesters, general subjects for the specialization are studied in the fields of theory, management, and design of electric machines, electrical apparatuses, and electric drives, electrical measurements, commutation and converter technology, computer-aided design and simulation of electrical apparatuses, technologies in electrical engineering and electronics, telecommunications, ecology, and renewable energy sources, etc.
The last semester is entirely composed of elective subjects, which form two modules:

- Electric Machines – knowledge and skills are acquired for the analysis and use of electric machines with electronic control, micromachines, and information converters, computer simulation of fields and processes, computer-aided design, testing, and research of electromechanical converters
- Electrical Apparatuses – up-to-date knowledge in the fields of design, production, operation, and maintenance of electrical engineering products and devices with active application of computer technologies. During the graduation project, students are trained in solving real engineering problems.
