Short Description
Electrical engineering is omnipresent - from the smart factory to intelligent energy systems, the regenerative generation of electrical energy, e-mobility to medical technology. Electrical engineering and information technology play a key role in everyday life, medicine and industry and make our lives safer, healthier, more environmentally conscious and more versatile.
At Leibniz University Hannover, the focus is on the research areas of biomedical engineering, digital society, energy, robotics and intelligent systems.
Course Content
- Track Automation and Robotics (formally Automation Technology)
- Track Machine Learning (formally Computer Engineering)
- Track Power and Mobility (formally Electric Power Engineering)
- Track Microelectronics
- Track Communications Engineering
The bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is divided into a foundation stage and an application stage and provides a broad, scientifically based education that is combined with practical skills. The four-semester foundation stage deals primarily with mathematics, mechanics and basic scientific and technical subjects. It also includes an 8-week internship. After studying the basics, students concentrate on one of the possible specializations in the application stage: automation and robotics, energy and mobility, communications engineering, microelectronics or machine learning.
In the two-semester application stage, students attend the core subjects control engineering I + II as well as application-oriented compulsory and elective courses of the chosen specialization. The degree programme also involves the Studium Generale, experimental lab work and project work. The application stage concludes with a Bachelor’s thesis.

Electrical engineering students should possess strong powers of imagination and abstraction. It is also important that they have a technical flair, an interest in mathematics and a logical way of thinking. Good foreign language skills are advantageous.
The programme involves eight weeks of basic internship, which prospective students are strongly recommended to complete before embarking on the degree programme. No specific time is set aside for completing this basic practical training during the degree programme.
Graduates work in R&D labs in virtually all branches of industry, for utility companies, software firms and services enterprises, as well as in the public sector, research institutes and educational institutions. They often start their careers in R&D, and increasingly take on management tasks at a later stage. The degree programme prepares students for independent work in research, development and production. It also qualifies them to work in technical sales and to assume executive positions in various corporate divisions.
