The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science offers Bachelor, Master and doctoral study programmes. Some programmes are further divided into study branches. Bachelor and Master programmes in the English language are offered in the full-time forms only. Doctoral study programmes are offered both in the full-time and part-time forms. The majority of study branches is open to students with disabilities. Study in the English language is subject to a tuition fee.

The Bachelor study lasts three years and the graduates are awarded the academic degree Bachelor (Czech abbreviation Bc.). The follow-up Master study lasts two years and the graduates are awarded the academic degree Master of Science (Czech abbreviation Ing.). Graduates of a Bachelor study in the same or similar study programme can continue in the follow-up Master study. The doctoral study lasts four years and the graduates obtain the academic degree doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.). This study is a follow-up to the completed Master studies, and the student demonstrates the ability of independent scientific work.
