Master academic studies

study programme Electrical Engineering and Computing

1. Basic facts

1. Master academic studies at the School of Electrical Engineering, Belgrade University, last for two semesters and carry 60 ECTS credits. The total number of academic credits required for the degree of master engineer is 300 ECTS, which means that only the candidates who have already earned their bachelor degree of 240 ECTS credits at the School of Electrical Engineering or a similar institution are eligible for this programme.

2. Upon finishing their master studies in Electrical Engineering and Computing at the School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade, students obtain the academic title Master of Electrical Engineering and Computing.

3. Subjects in master studies carry 30 ECTS credits in total. Each course carries 6 ECTS credits and consists of 5 lessons per week unless specific module rules say otherwise. The remaining 30 ECTS are earned through internship (3 ECTS), research paper (14 ECTS) and master paper (13 ECTS).

4. The administrative procedure related to the choice of courses, registration, writing and defence of the master thesis is defined in the Guide on Master Academic Studies.

5. Each module has a list of courses. The student of that module must select at least three courses from that list, unless stated otherwise in the rules of the module.

6. The remaining two courses can be selected from the list of the same module or any other module, unless stated otherwise in the rules of the module. If the module leader approves, one of those two courses can be replaced by one of the two courses from the category general education, each of which carries 3 ECTS.

7. The offer of elective courses can be reviewed every school year in order to keep pace with developments in the field. The School has the right to decide which courses will be offered at the beginning of each semester, based on the interest of candidates and available resources.

8. Programmes were created for students who have completed bachelor studies at the School of Electrical Engineering. Other candidates may be required to take additional exams depending on the programme of the bachelor studies they completed.

9. The courses that students took during their bachelor studies in addition to the required number of credits cannot be selected again during master academic studies.

2. Professional Internship

Professional internship of minimum 90 hours carries 3 ECTS credits and is an integral and mandatory part of master studies.

The student takes the school document to the company where they do their internship and the company provides written confirmation of internship completion. The student submits this certificate of completion and the worklog to the module leader, who then grades it and registers that the student has completed their internship in the student file of the Student Department.

Internship responsibles for master academic studies

Forms and instructions:

• Internship form
• Confirmation of internship completion (example)
• Internship worklog (example)
• Internship evaluation (filled out by the internship responsible of the module)

3. Student research paper

The student research paper carries 14 ECTS and prepares the student for writing their master thesis.

The report on the completed research paper is submitted by the mentor along with the report on review and evaluation of the student's master thesis.

More detailed information is provided in the Guide on Master Academic Studies (article 29)

Example of the Report on Student Research Paper (when submitted separately from the Report on the Review and Evaluation of the Master Thesis)

4. Master thesis

The final master thesis is the output of student's independent work which systematizes and applies scientific and professional knowledge to solve specific problems in the field of electrical engineering and computing.

A master dissertation proves the studen's capability to solve problems, originality in their approach, ability to draw appropriate conclusions, and ability to present content to professional public.

More detailed information is provided in the Guide on Master Academic Studies (article 30).

Forms and instructions:

• Form for registration of the master thesis
• Biography of the candidate for registration of the master thesis
• Explanation of the topic of the master thesis
• Example report of the master thesis
• Master thesis formatting guidelines

5.  Requirements for enrollment into specific modules of master academic studies in Electrical and Engineering Computing at the School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade
