SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
This program is aimed at preparation of specialists in the field of creation and application of software for different types of computing (CS) and automated systems (AS), related to the needs of a wide range of human activity spheres.
On the basis of acquired knowledge and skills graduates are able to solve practical problems in:

• Selection and transformation of mathematical models of effective realization of software and CS facilities;
• Development of requirements and specifications of software for the facilities of CS and AS
• Design of systems and applied software on the basis of modern methods, means and programming technologies
• Selection of CS facilities, tools of programming and their application to the effective realization of programming projects;
• Assessment of program quality and modernization of software to increase the reliability and efficiency;
• Development of supporting documents for the usage of programs and programming systems.

Thus, the objects of professional career activities of CS graduates are programs, programming systems and complexes, their mathematical and algorithmic models, design methods and means of production, implementation and applications in different fields

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The program provides opportunities for the students to gain deeper knowledge in the multi channel telecommunication systems and is designed to give both a theoretical background and practical experience in the area of technologies, methods and resources of information transmission in the space.
The program includes:

• Multi channel systems and networks of transmission,
• Optical transmission systems and networks,
• Technological systems and means of transmission of sound, pictures and any kind of signals by wire and optical channels,
• Systems and resources of data transfer and computer networks, etc.

The graduates are expected to have job opportunities in the sphere of development, maintenance and service of telecommunication systems and products.

The graduates of the program will acquire such theoretical knowledge and practical skills that will allow them to perform professional activities in the field of industry of microelectronic and electronic devices, as well as in researching-designing and service of such devices.

The professional activities include the complex of means and methods that are dedicated to the design, elaboration, investigation, maintenance and services of electronic devices and equipments of different types.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
 

The department of Electrical Engineering trains specialists for the enterprises of electrical engineering industry and the power complex.

The graduates of the Department of Electrical Engineering can be emploied at enterprises of the field of electrical engineering producing power generators and compressors, mobile electric power plants and electric machines, transformers, automatic lines, power cables and communication cables, capacitors, articles of illuminating, electric and electronic apparatuses.
At present, the Department carries out training specialists on “Electrical Engineering” specialty
Including the next main directions:

• Electro mechanics (Electrical machines)
• Electric Drive and Automation of Industrial Plants and Production Complexes
• Electric and Electronic Apparatuses
• Electro isolation, Cable and Capacitor Engineering
• Illumination Engineering and Light Sources
• Electro transport

The Department is ready to train foreign specialists at the Bachelor, Master and Post-graduate Program levels in Russian, English, French and Armenian on the mentioned above specialty provided by the Department according to the conditions coordinated in advance.

2. MASTER DEGREE PROGRAM – 2 YEARS

The duration of the Master’s program at SEUA is 2 years. Students can apply for after completing a preceding Bachelor program in the same disciplinary area, being awarded their bachelor Degree.

From the second term, students start at their Graduate thesis in parallel with their classes. After the successful defense of thesis and completion of the study program, they are awarded the Degree of Master of Engineering.

Practically, for the students registered in English language groups, there is no limitation on the choice of specialties and in case of incomplete groups, individualized instruction is practiced.

3. RESEARCH PROGRAMS – 3 YEARS

This is a postgraduate 3-year program (aspirantura) leading to the Candidate of Science degree (equivalent to Ph.D) combined with the Research Engineer 2-year degree educational special program organized by the Graduate Education Division, in parallel.

The prerequisites for admission are Master Degree awarded at the University or other universities related to the Ph.D degree requirements, and availability of a qualified scientific adviser.

For foreign students the program includes mainly the supervised 3-years scientific research component awarding the Candidate of Science degree after the successful defense of the thesis.

4. PREPARATORY PROGRAM – 1 YEAR

Foreign applicants can apply to the preparatory course before being enrolled as first-year-students. The preparatory courses last one year and train the students in languages, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Graphics. There is no prerequisite to join this preparatory course. The applicants who have failed in the tests on English, Mathematics or Physics to enter the bachelor Program are strongly recommended to apply to this courses that will insure in the best way their next year success.
