Profile
The Master Study Programme in Electrical Engineering
and Information Technology lasts four semesters. Its
goal is to qualify students for a high-level career in the
public sector or for doctoral studies as well as to expand
their subject-related and management skills.
Both creative and design skills as well as knowledge of
the theory of natural and engineering sciences are
further developed in a targeted manner.
Students can choose from four areas of specialization:
– Automation Technology
– Electrical Power Engineering
– Communications and Information Technology
– Microelectronics
The Master Study Programme in Electrical Engineering
and Information Technology pursues the objective of
optimizing graduates’ career alternatives and enabling
them, through the teaching of methodical skills as well
as additional subject-related knowledge, to undertake
academic work. Through the programme’s international
focus, instruction in engineering is adapted to market
globalization on the one hand and on the other hand
studying is made easier for international students. In the
course of the programme, which is divided into modules,
subject-related contents with specific foci are taught and
applied in practice. The programme ends with the Master
thesis.
Career prospects
The practice-oriented Master Study Programme in Electrical
Engineering and Information Technology first of all deepens
students’ knowledge of mathematics and theory, thus creating
a basis for successful academic work. In parallel, students’
subject-related knowledge is expanded in the framework of
an area of specialization which can be freely chosen.
In addition to the professional fields open to Bachelor
graduates, for Master graduates there are employment opportunities in research and development as well as the possibility
to attain further qualifications and enter university teaching.
