Teaching

The hit Department of Sciences offers a whole spectrum of courses in mathematics and physics for about 2,500 undergraduate students who study towards BSc degrees in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Communication Engineering, and Technology Management, and BA in Computer Sciences. In each of these specialisations, our students are taught with courses specially tailored to their interests and employment aspirations dictated by needs of the nation's high-technology sector. This allows hit graduates to successfully cope with today's engineering problems and be ready to face future challenges. A particular emphasis is placed on advancing modern communication Internet tools in the teaching process. Please find out more in our Courses section.
