Our students
Student involment in the decission-making process
The Student Parliament (SPIUS) represents students' interests and acts on their behalf to ensure the
realisation of student rights. The Student Parliament (SPIUS) also appoints representatives to the
University bodies to ensure that all rights of students are protected and that students are involved in
the decision making process.
Student representatives are also involved in the process of curricula development, as well as their
evaluation and implementation and periodical analyses of study programs.
Academic Advising
IUS pays special attention to Academic Advising of students throughout their studies. Within study
programs, the dean assigns an informal academic adviser to each student, who supervises and
evaluates the student’s progress, and advises them on matters of compulsory and elective courses
that they need to register for in order to graduate. During the course registration period, every
student is required to consult their academic adviser about choosing the right courses and course
registration for the next semester. The academic adviser approves the list of elected subjects at the
beginning of each semester.
Promoting Student Mobility
International Relations Office of the International University of Sarajevo (IRO) works intensively to
promote student mobility through a number of exchange programs such as Erasmus+ and Mevlana.
Students are granted ECTS credits obtained during the exchange, and the IR staff advises students
and helps them to make appropriate choices.

Students' Clubs
IUS has many extracurricular activities that enrich student academic experience. Currently, the
University hosts 19 student clubs, including: IUS Rock Band, Entrepreneurship Club of IUS, The
Club of Intellectual Activities (CIA), IUS Football Club, CASES (Culture Art Social Education
Sports), SOS Club (Scouting and Outdoor Sports), and Club ROSA (Research Organization Science
and Art) Club Architecture Students Assembly of IU Photography Club.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance at the level of a study program includes the process of study program
development itself. Consultations with teachers, area experts, students, the labour market,
employers’ representatives and local community representatives are defined as mandatory.
During the implementation of a study program, regular analyses of all key study program
implementation indicators are performed. The system of implementation of the curriculum and
student evaluation provides sufficient autonomy to each academic staff member in order to adjust
teaching methods and assessment in each course. Nonetheless, clearly defined standards at
university level are still observed. Such a system ensures transparency in the assessment process
and at the same time allows for customization for each teacher and student.
European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)
Semester curriculum is organized through the courses whose values are expressed in the entries of
the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in order to facilitate the student exchange programs
all over Europe.
Total prescribed ECTS credits are awarded after a student sits for an exam and after they are
graded, and the achievements in the learning outcomes are defined by F, FX to A scale, i.e. from 5
to 10. ECTS system applies to all student transfers.
All courses have a code that clearly indicates their content. The course numbering system has three
digits for each course, with the first digit indicating the level of the course (study year), as follows:
100-199; 200-299; 300-399 and 400-499 for four years of study of the first study cycle; 500-599 for
second study cycle, 600-899 for third study cycle.
8
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
The abbreviation before the number indicates the program offered by the course. For instance, the
code ARCH 101 denotes the course in the field of architecture intended for the first year of the first
study cycle.
Differences in content and value of courses are expressed through the number of hours that were
planned for lectures, training or independent work (3 +0 or 2 +2 or 2 +1 +2).
Students’ internship provision, in duration of at least 30 days, is a mandatory requirement for every
study programme at the University.
Study length, the awarding of ECTS credit points and the diploma supplement
Information on study length and the awarding of ECTS study credits to students who completed
their studies successfully per study cycles is shown in the table below:

ECTS points awarded, average grade for each semester, overall GPA and other elements defined by
the law.
Teaching and Assessment Methods
Teaching methods applied at the University vary significantly depending on the faculty and
discipline. In general, the courses of natural science have a tendency towards larger structure and
more formal lessons than subjects of humanities and social sciences.
An important component of studying at the IUS is independent learning, and special attention is
given to individual office hours with students. Academic staff combine many teaching approaches
to achieve specified learning goals and to motivate students to study.
9
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
Teaching Methods
Implementation of teaching can take several forms, but it usually involves a combination of the
following:
- During lectures, printed materials, slides or presentations on a computer are commonly used, but
the main focus is on listening to lecturers.
- Assistants usually deliver lessons (tutorials) in small groups where individual attention is given to
students. Tutorials usually complement lectures, but are more topic-specific. For example, they may
include activities such as solving problems or having discussions on particular topics broadly
discussed during lectures.
- Most subjects involve some form of practical work, such as weekly sessions in the laboratory
where students acquire technical and research skills.
- Internships (min 30 working days) have been designed in a way that offers students opportunities
to experience on-the-job training and make well-informed decisions about their future careers.
Independent Learning
Apart from attending lectures and practical classes, students spend a great part of their weekdays in
independent learning that includes reading relevant materials, research, studying in the reading
room, doing homework, writing term papers and reports, group or individual projects and
presentations.
Types of Assessment
At the International University of Sarajevo, written, oral and practical assessment methods are used.
Assessment is conducted by testing, that is, assessing written and practical work and examination
suitable to the specific program, specified learning goals, and grading procedures. Examinations in
field of Arts are taken in front of a commission. All types of assessment are public.
Office hours
Course instructors have office hours with students on regular basis. In order to help students
understand the course contents and achieve the learning aims of a course, office hours are facilitated
through different means, like office meetings, meetings in the classroom, consulting via email or
10
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
modern IT apps such as Moodle.
Assessment
After completing all the required examinations, final results are assessed and graded according to
the following scale, which corresponds with ECTS grading scale:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
10 (A) - remarkable success without error or with negligible errors, carries 95-100 points;
9 (B) – above average, with few mistakes, equivalent to 85-94 points;
8 (C) – average, with noticeable mistakes, equivalent to 75-84 points;
7 (D) - generally good, but with more significant flaws, equivalent to 65-74 bodova;
6 (E) – meets the minimum criteria, equivalent to 55-64 points;
5 (F, FX) – does not meet the minimum criteria, less than 55 points.
Introduction to the Discipline and Qualification
It is almost unthinkable today to have modern industry without electrical engineering at its core.
Electrical engineering is essential for maintaining and developing the modern society. From the
production of electricity through the multiplicity of electrical and electronic devices to mobile
communications and robotics, electrical and electronics engineering is fundamental to many of the
technical systems that we use every day at work and at home.
Electrical engineering is also changing rapidly. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, we are
experiencing enormous growth in areas such as computer technology, medical electronics, nanotechnology, measurement and control, electric power and renewable energy, robotics, wireless
networks, complex dynamic systems, satellite communications and others.
This progress requires highly qualified engineers with first-rate expertise in electrical and
electronics’ engineering numerous disciplines.
Engineers apply science, mathematics and ingenuity to invent, research, develop, design,
manufacture and operate engineering products, or simply to find solutions to technical problems.
They use new technology creatively and innovatively and transform scientific discoveries into
applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Engineers maintain, manage and undertake
projects in design, development, manufacture, construction and operation phases. Among many
engineering disciplines, electrical engineering is one of the most popular and has grown to have
many specific branches.
11
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
Electrical engineering is also an important part of other engineering disciplines such as: aerospace,
agricultural, biomedical, environmental or optical engineering. Therefore, Electrical and Electronics
Engineering Study Programme (EE) at IUS is organized in collaboration with other programs at
Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS), covering many aspects of the subject from
theory and methodology through components and systems to applications. The applications include,
among other, telecommunications, control, robotics and microelectronics.
The content of courses varies from purely theoretical lectures to highly practical laboratory work.
IUS offers a range of courses facilitating learner-oriented and individualised study approach with a
substantial element of theory alongside practical work in the laboratory, programming, developing
affinity to teamwork and life-long learning.
Goals of the Study Programme
The challenges of the modern world demand interdisciplinary approach to the problems while
information revolution and emergence of Internet significantly change the way in which engineers
operate. Bioengineering, industrial engineering, complex system design, to name just a few, are all
born from necessity to tackle the problems of the 21st century.
Electrical and Electronics Engineering Study Programme curriculum at IUS is designed to meet the
needs of the future Electrical and Electronics engineers in response to these changes. These are the
main aims of the study program:
•
To equip the students with high quality education and skills in electrical and electronics
engineering
•
To develop students capabilities in assessing engineering options across a broad range of
subjects, their capacity to make decisions, and their creativity and flair,
•
To provide a multi-disciplinary environment aiming to foster students capacity to deal with
situations that cross subject boundaries
•
To promote professional and ethical responsibility.
The EE study programme offers interdisciplinary approach to the subject of electrical and
electronics engineering by offering specific courses from other engineering programs such as
12
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
Industrial Engineering Programme, Mechanical Engineering Programme Bio-engineering
Programme and Computer Engineering Programme. In addition, at least two courses are required
from the Faculty of Business and Administration (FBA) or/and Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
(FASS) faculty programs. This, together with the required University Courses that cover various
topics from economics to humanistic sciences, gives future engineers graduating from IUS
necessary skills to meet the challenges of 21st century. IUS supports the interdisciplinary approach
by establishing no firm boundaries between different areas of studies. Around a third of all courses
are elective courses which gives students opportunity to design the program according to their
interests and preferences. In this way, students have possibility to choose their future directions, e.g.
some courses will prepare students for their future carriers in the industry, while other courses will
give students a good foundation for the postgraduate studies.
In balance, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Study Programme at IUS prepares students for
the life-long learning and independent work.
Employability
The level of automation, the need for enhanced telecommunication infrastructure, intelligent
product design and general tendency towards maximum finalisation of products in modern societies
dictates ever greater demand for engineers that can design, produce and oversee various products
and services. With optimization, innovation and effectiveness, companies gain competitiveness and
advantage in the market. All this makes qualified engineers, in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as
worldwide, attractive employees.
The study of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at International University of Sarajevo gives
competitive education and prerequisites for academic, research and industrial career. Students who
graduate from EE program can pursue their career opportunities in various industry branches. They
may find employment in private companies dealing with research, design and maintenance of
automation systems, instrumentation, in factories as experts for modernisation and product
development, or in public companies, usually in the fields of telecommunications or power
production.

First Study Cycle
Aims and Profile of the First Study Cycle
During the first study cycle, the student learns the theory of electrical circuits, analogue and digital
electronics, programming, signal processing, control theory, and the mathematics and physics on
which these disciplines rely. The practical lessons include hands-on training in laboratories where
students master their skills in computer programming and use of computers in engineering practice
and also develop teamwork spirit.
IUS philosophy is not only to educate engineers, but also to prepare them for future leadership roles
in industry. Therefore, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Study Programme curriculum at IUS
is complemented with the basics of economics, management and social sciences.

specialise.
By choosing area elective courses, the student defines the profile of the study, and in
accordance with his/her own affinities focuses on one of the fields of electronics, power systems,
telecommunications or industrial control systems.
The final Bachelor thesis project is usually associated with current IUS research, and/or is
conducted in collaboration with a company outside of IUS.
Having completed successfully the First Study Cycle of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Study Programme, a student acquires the following title: Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical
and Electronics Engineering.
Article 47 of the Rules of Studies for the First Study Cycle at IUS foresees that, for a successful
