About the Program

In the first year of study in France, students first acquire basic knowledge that will be needed later in their studies. The first two semesters serve as an orientation. In Germany from the second year onwards, in-depth electrical and information technology content is taught, such as communication technology, circuit design or signal processing. During the third academic year in Switzerland, students must then decide on one of two specialisations offered for further in-depth knowledge: automated systems or embedded systems. Students then come back to Germany for the last semester to complete their Bachelor's theses.
