Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

Modern life would be unthinkable without electrical engineering and information technology. What is behind smart home technologies, or what are smart grids? And how does the interaction of hardware and software work? In this degree programme, you will learn how electronic devices are built and developed, how to make them communicate, and how the data is processed. You will be able to design new systems and solutions to problems in order to further develop modern life in a sustainable way. In addition to the topics in the natural sciences and technical subjects, you will learn the German language, which will make it easier for you to get used to everyday life and will prepare you for future work opportunities. For whom is the programme suitable? The programme is suitable for anyone interested in the fields of mathematics, physics, and computer science. If you are fascinated by technology and software and enjoy tinkering with scientific and mathematical challenges, then this is the right place for you. In addition, you should enjoy team-oriented and intercultural work. Course organisation The Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology takes seven semesters. During the first two semesters, foundation courses and extra German language courses take place. The following two semesters are dedicated to core subjects. The next semester is reserved for an internship in industry. In the final two semesters, students take specialisation courses and write their theses – often in cooperation with industry. Study contents During the basic studies, you will learn the basics of mathematical and scientific subjects and electrical engineering. You will learn elements of digital technology and programming as well as systems theory and control engineering. Lectures and exercises on measurement technology and electronics are also part of the curriculum. In the third and fourth semesters, further knowledge is deepened. Are you especially fascinated by a particular subject? Then you can pursue your interests in the sixth and seventh semesters and accordingly select the subjects you want. This international course of study in English also includes German language courses. With such language skills, you will find your way around everyday life and settle in well at companies. You will also have the opportunity to enhance your skills in the field of intercultural communication to enable a better entry into the international workforce. Application-oriented studies The distinctive feature about studying at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is the high proportion of practical experience. From the beginning of your studies, you will be involved in project work. You will already learn to solder circuits and to work on other practical tasks independently in the laboratory during your basic studies. Your lecturers come to the university contributing extensive industrial experience and pass on their knowledge via a combination of lectures with laboratory exercises. You will gain your first professional experience at an industrial company during your internship semester, which is usually scheduled for the fifth semester.
