Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
(Master of Science)

The Master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology takes four semesters. The core subjects are Theoretical Electrical Engineering I + II, in-depth compulsory and elective courses in the chosen specialization, the Studium Generale, experimental lab work, project work and, last but not least, the Master's thesis. Additional practical experience is gained in a 16-week industrial internship. Electrical engineering students are prepared for independent work in research, development and production. At the same time, the programme qualifies you for employment in technical sales and management. The broad-based training in the theoretical basics with a high proportion of practical work enables graduates in research and development to work on current issues on the basis of scientific standards.

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 very important for entering the job market. For this reason, English language skills are recommended.

Most 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. For this reason, the degree programme prepares students for independent work in research and production. The Master’s degree enables graduates to start on the career ladder with a company at a higher level.
