Why study with us?
What's English for Practice in Electrical Engineering and Communication Technologies?
English for Practice in Electrical Engineering an Communication Technologies, not unlike our previous programme English in Electrical Engineering and Informatics is, a multidisciplinary study programme combining linguistic studies and electrical engineering. Its aim is to equip the students with the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills highly necessary in the view of the development and expansion of electrotechnics in the present globalising world, and considering the position of the English language as a lingua franca (common language), which is particularly true for electrical engineering and information technology.
Graduates of this study programme will master the mechanics of professional English, understand the principles of professional discourse as a specific communication tool and comprehend the fundamentals of electrical engineering.
This kind of training will prepare the graduates for a wide range of careers: they may choose to work as technical writers, technical translators, communication specialists, managers; or they may further pursue their studies and go on to earn a master's degree at many different faculties.
And what do our graduates do?
Ing. Karolína Čechová is currently pursuing a doctoral degree at the Department of Power Electrical and Electronic Engineering and thus utilising her experience both as a researcher and as a project manager in a multinational company. „I really enjoyed the combination of foreign languages and technically oriented subjects at grammar school and this is why I was drawn to the undergraduate study programme English in Electrical Engineering and Informatics at Brno University of Technology, the only university in the Czech Republic to offer this unique combination. The programme improved my technical English and gave me a general overview across the spectrum of electrical engineering and IT fields. I subsequently completed a Master's degree in Electrical Power Engineering and I am currently engaged in research activities focusing on the safety of high-voltage networks as part of my postgraduate studies. At the same time, I am working as a project manager in the Innovation Projects Department at EG.D., where I am applying my professional English skills at an international level.“
