Introduction
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 program, you will learn how electronic devices are built and developed, how to make them communicate, and how the data is processed. You will learn to design new systems and solutions to problems in order to further develop modern life in a sustainable way.
Course Details
Course organization
The Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology takes 7 terms. During the first three 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 the industry. In the final two semesters, students take specialization courses and write their thesis – often in co-operation 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 on 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 into companies. You will also have the opportunity to further your skills in the field of intercultural communication to enable a better entry into the international working world.

Application-oriented studies
The distinctive feature about studying at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is the high proportion of practical experience. Right 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 by a combination of lectures with laboratory exercises. You will gain your first professional experience in an industrial company during your internship semester, which is usually scheduled for the fifth semester.
You will work on engineering tasks and apply the knowledge from your studies. Here you will learn about work processes that are very similar to your future engineering work.
After the internship semester, you will prepare a report and give a presentation on your work. We support students who would like to carry out their internship semester abroad.
You will also complete your Bachelor's thesis in an industrial company and, in many cases, get the opportunity to be taken on directly.
