A Multidisciplinary Degree Involving

• Comprehensive knowledge in Electronics
• Fundamentals of Physics principles
• Essentials in Mathematics/ Statistics
• Computer Programming
• Knowledge in English Language

BSc in Electronics and Automation Technologies will be completed in three years (90 Credits / SLQF Level 5) and it consists of three levels.

• LEVEL I: Diploma in Electronics and Automation Technologies (30 Credits)
• LEVEL II: Advanced Diploma in Electronics and Automation Technologies (60 Credits)
• LEVEL III: BSc in Electronics and Automation Technologies (90 Credits)

More details and set of courses can be found in the course catalogue.

Since Electronics and Computing are practical subjects, the highest priority will be given for providing a thorough practical knowledge to the students. Most of the courses are designed in such a way focussing hands-on sessions. All the courses will be managed through the Learning Management System (EDP_LMS) for enhancing the learning experience. Each student will be allowed to access lecture materials and learning activities maintained on the EDP_LMS. Additional online discussion classes will be held at regular intervals for students to interact with the lecturers.

The theory course modules will be evaluated through written examinations and/or assignments where appropriate. Laboratory course modules will be evaluated by assignments and/or semester-end examinations. In some instances, course units may require a mixed-mode evaluation including continuous assessments.

Level Certificates/ Diploma/ Advanced Diploma and Degree awarding criteria can be found under the Degree-Awarding criteria.
