About the Program

Digitization is the topic of our time: In the Internet of Things, everyday objects communicate with each other, in Industry 4.0, goods are produced in automated processes, and cars are able to drive autonomously. Modern applications like these are realized through the combination of specialized software and hardware developed by engineering computer scientists for new, innovative products. The core task of engineering computer scientists is to ensure the optimal interaction of hardware and software. During your studies of engineering informatics you will learn the basics of electrical engineering, electronics and computer science. You design, implement, test and improve complex systems. This also includes the design of application-specific hardware and software. With the help of computer-simulated models, you reproduce the functionality of real applications such as cell phones, medical devices, robots or motor vehicles. Abstract and analytical thinking are therefore among the basic requirements of the course. In laboratory practicals, you will consolidate your knowledge from your lectures and seminars in practice, program algorithms, carry out experiments, build circuits independently and develop software solutions for a wide range of applications. From the 5th semester onwards, you can specialize in the elective area of your bachelor's degree and prepare yourself for the focus areas of your master's degree, such as communication networks, robotics, embedded systems or biomedical engineering. As a graduate of this program, you will be in demand both in industry and in research.
