Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering (BTTE-in English)

Presentación

The BTTE offers the same contents and the same structure as the Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering (GETT) with minor differences.

They hardly differ on the following aspects:

• The language of teaching, which is mostly in English (more than 80% of the compulsory courses).
• The number of students that can enter each academic year (20 maximum). Therefore, the teaching is given in small groups, being almost persoalised.
• Your diploma will list English as the language of instruction in those courses where it is used.

It is important to note that the following courses must be taken in English:

• Seven courses out of ten in the 1st year.
• All the courses in the 2nd year.
• All the courses in the second semester of the 4th year.

Objetivo Principal

The set of knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired and developed during the course of study are also referred to as learning outcomes.

Graduates in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering at the University of Vigo acquire the general and specific competences outlined in Order CIN/352/2009 of February 9, which establishes the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that qualify for the regulated profession of Technical Telecommunication Engineer.

To obtain the degree, students must complete only one of the four technological modules included in the proposed degree program. Therefore, learning outcomes RA21 to RA47 are not acquired by all students. The breakdown is as follows:

• Students specializing in Telecommunication Systems will acquire learning outcomes RA21 to RA26.
• Those specializing in Electronic Systems will acquire outcomes RA39 to RA47.
• Those specializing in Telematics will acquire outcomes RA27 to RA33.
• Those specializing in Sound and Image will acquire outcomes RA34 to RA38.
