Electronics and Communication Engineering UOLP
The Electronics and Communication Engineering UOLP programme is a dual-degree bachelor’s programme offered by Istanbul Technical University and NJIT (USA). Students study electronics, communication systems, signal processing and networks with modern courses and labs. The programme combines theory and practical work so you learn both how circuits and communication systems work and how to build real devices. During the first years you study basic sciences and engineering fundamentals; later years focus on advanced electronic systems, wireless communications, digital systems and network technologies. The programme is fully in English and aims to prepare graduates for global communication and technology careers.
By studying in both Istanbul and the USA, students get a global education and learn international engineering standards. Through labs, workshops, projects and teamwork, you develop technical skills, cultural awareness and global mindset. This dual-institution education helps you become ready for work in different countries and industries. After graduation, you receive degrees from both ITU and NJIT, which gives you a strong edge in the global job market.
