Programme Overview

In the course of your studies you will learn to design and operate state-of-the-art electronic systems while studying bilingual.

The programme is oriented on future requirements for successful engineers. That includes a strong focus on “Systems Engineering” capabilities. You will learn the technical “language of engineers” (simulation, specification, etc.). Mastering this form of communication, in combination with a profound technical knowledge, leads to a successful career as an engineer especially in international teams.

With us you will learn in a practical way and make contacts with the industry during your studies.

Career and Perspectives

While development in most of the basic technologies is rather stagnant, a strong innovative push is also expected in the future in electrical engineering and electronics. Accordingly, there are great opportunities to find a job with a secure future. Numerous opportunities are offered by manufacturers of electrical and electronic devices, the chemical industry, mechanical and plant engineering, automotive manufacturers and suppliers, IT and communications companies and last but not least, the public services. Subjects like Business Administration, Working Techniques and Project Management also qualify you for leadership roles. 

Programme Structure / Curriculum

  • 1st and 2nd semester
  • 3rd and 4th semester
  • 5th semester (Industry Internship)
  • 6th and 7th semester
  • Documents

During the basic studies you will learn all the necessary basics in the fields of mathematics, computer science, physics and electrical engineering. Since the first year is taught in English, you have also the opportunity to improve your German language skills with an obligatory intensive German course.

Fundamentals of Engineering Science:

  • Mathematics
  • Physics with Laboratory
  • Computer Science   
  • -Fundamentals of Programming   -Fundamentals of Digital Technology-Digital Technology Laboratory-Algorithms and Data Structures
  • ElectronicCircuitry
    -Electronic Circuitry  
    -Electronic Circuitry Laboratory
    -Semiconductor Technology and Quantum Electronics
  • Information Technology
    -Fundamentals of Network Engineering
    -Fundamentals of Automated Systems
    -Coding


In the advanced study period, which is taught mainly in German, you have the opportunity to specialize according to your preferences and strengths. For this purpose, you can choose between specializations in the fields of power electronics and information technology. These range from microcontroller programming, digital signal and image processing, control engineering, networked systems to power converters, electrical drives and the associated circuit in technology.

Specialist Course Subjects

  • Specialist and technical electives (lectures and laboratories)
  • Control Engineering and Mathematical Methods
    -Mathmatics
    -Signals and Systems
    -Control Engineering
    -Control Engineering Laboratory
  • Sensors and Actuators
    -Metrology and Sensors
    -Electric Drive Systems
    -Metrology Laboratory
  • Circuit Design and Simulation
    -Simulation Technology
    -Circuit Design- Layout and Simulation
  • Information Technology and Technical Elective
    -Microcontrollers, Digital Technology
    -Digital Signal Processing
    -Networked Systems  
    -Software Engineering
    -High-frequency Engineering
    -Power Electronics   

The new knowledge and skills will be applied in the practice semester where all students work independently on engineering tasks in an industrial firm.

  • Practical experience
  • work in an industrial enterprise
  • get to know different specific engineering tasks
  • independent work
  • realistic working conditions
  • networking with experienced engineers
  • salary
  • also possible abroad

The last part of your studies consists of the Bachelor thesis. This will be a project at the university or in cooperation with a company that is planned, organised and implemented independently by each student.
