Qassim University

What you'll study

The programme combines theoretical foundations with laboratory practice and design projects. Core subjects cover circuit analysis, electromagnetic fields, analogue and digital electronics, signals and systems, control theory, power systems, electrical machines, and microprocessors. Students also study communications and signal processing, instrumentation and measurement, and topics in renewable energy and power electronics.

Practical learning is emphasised through laboratory modules, computer-aided design and simulation exercises, workshops, and a supervised final-year graduation project that requires system design, testing and technical reporting. Elective options typically allow specialisation in areas such as power engineering, embedded systems, telecommunications or control and automation.

Entry requirements

Applicants are normally required to have completed secondary education in the scientific stream (or an equivalent qualification) with strong achievement in mathematics and physics. Admission also depends on meeting Qassim University’s general undergraduate admission criteria, which include academic transcripts and any standardised assessments specified by the university. Proficiency in English is expected for technical courses, so applicants may need to demonstrate secondary-level English competence or meet the university’s language requirements. International applicants must present an equivalent secondary qualification and any documents required for evaluation.

Career prospects

Graduates are well placed to work across a wide range of sectors. Typical employers include electricity generation and distribution companies, oil and gas firms, manufacturing and automation companies, telecommunications providers, electronics design houses and government technical agencies. Job roles include electrical design engineer, power systems engineer, control and instrumentation engineer, electronics engineer, embedded systems developer and maintenance engineer.

Graduates may also progress to postgraduate study (MSc, PhD) or professional accreditation routes, and many take up roles in research, project management, consultancy or further specialisation in areas such as renewable energy, smart grids and industrial automation. The programme’s practical components and industry links support internship and employment opportunities in the region and beyond.
