The new degree course in the field of electrical engineering with additional possibility for in-depth studies
Electro technical solutions are entirely incorporated into our everyday life. Current topics such as 'Industry 4.0', 'renewable energies', 'Internet of things' or 'smart home' offer exciting tasks as for the engineer of the future.
In the bachelor's degree course Electrical Engineering and Information Technology you can choose one of the three major fields of study after the second semester:Automation technology, Energy technology and Information and Communication Technology.
The degree course qualifies its graduates for demanding tasks in the industry, in public institutions and in science. Students are able to independently work in the areas of planning, implementation, operation, maintenance and development of electrical facilities within the automation technology of electrical engineering and communication technology with IT.

Prospects
Students graduating from the program will be able to analyze problems relating to systems architecture and network planning, as well as hardware and software development and develop scientifically grounded solutions in interdisciplinary teams. As practically oriented engineers, they will be able to responsibly fulfil roles and tasks in electrical engineering for industry, planning offices, public service institutions and research. Students graduating from the program receive a certification that carries the quality seal for Europe-wide accredited standards for engineering programs.
According to the VDE there are annually approximately 10,000 positions not filled by university graduates in these three core areas of electrical engineering.
