Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing of the University of Zagreb (Croatian acronym: FER) is a leading higher education and research institution in the Republic of Croatia in the area of electrical engineering, computing, and information and communication technology.
As a part of the oldest and the biggest university in South-Eastern Europe and an engineering school with a century-long tradition of excellence in teaching electrical engineering and information technologies, FER is a primary choice for almost 50% out of 1,000 best high-school graduates in Croatia based on Mathematics and Physics at State Matura.
FER provides high-quality education to its students, founded on the interconnection of teaching, research, and innovation, along with regional and European recognition of academic programs in the field of electrical engineering, computing, and information and communication technology.
The ability to adapt to new situations is crucial for all engineers, and we inspire our students to participate in up-to-date challenges, latest research developments and to pursue their own interests. We motivate students to participate in the development of new technologies and to advance innovative technical solutions to constantly evolving challenges. We prepare young technologists for creative and innovative jobs, some of which have not yet even been conceived!
Career Opportunities
FER alumni are highly appreciated professionals not only in Croatia but also in high-tech companies in different sectors worldwide. FER actively cooperates with more than 450 companies, including some of the most significant high-tech companies from Croatia but also all over the world. Both students and companies benefit from this network that provides an opportunity to connect the best matching talents with industry needs even before students finish their studies.
