The prerequisites. What do we expect from applicants?
As a prerequisite, a Bachelors degree of a minimum of
a seven-semester academic program, in electrical engi-
neering or a closely related field is expected. Admission
is highly competitive. A clearly discernible motivation
with excellent past academic, possibly also professional
accomplishments, in fields relevant to electrical engineer-
ing, is indispensable. IT experience is given high priority.
What counts is the overall impression a candidate makes.
