The structure of the Bachelor’s degree program in the field of Science and Technology (ST) allows students to progressively build their academic pathway by acquiring a common scientific and technological foundation during the first year before moving on to various engineering and technical specializations.

First Year

The first and second semesters constitute a common core for all students enrolled in the Science and Technology field. During this stage, students receive fundamental training in mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, communication skills, and teamwork methodology.

This foundational training aims to provide students with essential scientific knowledge and develop their abilities in analysis and scientific reasoning, while also introducing them to the various specializations available within the field.

At the end of the first year, students are directed toward one of the available specializations according to their preferences, abilities, and academic performance. These may include, for example:

• Civil Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Hydraulics
• Telecommunications
• Other specializations accredited within the Science and Technology field at other universities.

This progressive structure enables students to choose their specialization on sound scientific and academic grounds, ensuring better alignment between their academic qualifications and the requirements of their future studies.

The Bachelor’s degree programs in the field of Science and Technology aim to establish a solid scientific and technical foundation by integrating fundamental knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering sciences, with an emphasis on the integration and interconnection of these fields in addressing scientific and technological challenges.

This multidisciplinary approach contributes to developing students’ abilities in analysis, modeling, and innovation, while enabling them to acquire a rigorous scientific methodology and technical skills that meet the requirements of various engineering and technological specializations. This training is supported by specific academic and methodological requirements for each field of knowledge, ensuring the development of balanced scientific and professional competencies that can be further enhanced and developed.

By the end of the six semesters of the program, students will have acquired a range of scientific, technical, and methodological competencies, including:

Communication and language skills, enabling students to understand, communicate, and express themselves both orally and in writing in at least one foreign language, particularly in technical and scientific English.

Specialized competencies related to the branch or specialization selected within the field of Science and Technology;

Scientific and technical competencies enabling students to understand and analyze engineering and technological phenomena and propose appropriate solutions to scientific and applied problems;

Modeling and computational skills, as well as the ability to use digital tools and technical software commonly employed in various fields of science and engineering;

Laboratory skills, including conducting experiments, analyzing results, and processing scientific and technical data using rigorous scientific methods;

Technical and scientific communication skills, including preparing technical and scientific reports, presenting projects, and discussing them in a structured and objective manner;

Teamwork and project management skills, together with the ability to adapt to evolving technical and professional requirements;

Mandatory internships and supervised projects in the final year of the License and Master’s programs serve as a vital bridge between theory and practice. Students gain immersive field experience, applying scientific methodologies to real-world business challenges while developing essential project management and problem-solving skills.

These opportunities foster professional networking and self-reliance, ensuring a seamless transition into the global workforce

A Bachelor’s degree in one of the specializations within the field of Science and Technology opens up broad opportunities for pursuing further studies in various engineering and technological Master’s programs. It also qualifies graduates to enter a wide range of economic, industrial, and service sectors.
