Bachelor’s programme in Engineering and Management (First Level)

Programme description

The full time course comprises of lectures, practical work sessions, an industrial placement, and a final Diploma thesis. The programme lasts 6 semesters and focuses on general fileds of study in the first three semesters, while specialised subjects are covered in the next three semesters. Teaching language is Slovene. Industrial placement in one of the local companies is 12 weeks long and takes place in the fifth semester.

An obligatory course and an enterpreneurship seminar in the third year assume that students master key topics from the first two years which are interdisciplinary connected in these two subjects.

In the diploma thesis, students typically continue with the project they carried out during their industrial placement. This allows for more thorough problem solving connected with a concrete working environment.

Uspešno opravljene obveznosti iz vaj in seminarskih nalog so pogoj za pristop k izpitu. V sklopu praktičnega usposabljanja študent pripravi vmesno in končno poročilo, ki ga ustno zagovarja.

Diplomsko delo

Poseben poudarek je na diplomskemu delu, ki je samostojno strokovno delo, s katerim diplomant dokaže, da sistematično uporablja pridobljena znanja za reševanje zahtevnih nalog s področja gospodarskega inženiringa. V diplomskem delu študent razišče in reši konkretno nalogo, temo diplomskega dela pa na pisno podan predlog predhodno odobri senat fakultete. Ta določi mentorja in komisijo za oceno diplomskega dela. Študent zaključi študij z javnim zagovorom diplomskega dela pred tričlansko komisijo.
