Qualification profile of the graduate
The master’s degree program serves to further enhance or complement the scientific qualifications acquired during bachelor’s studies. The graduates are able to independently apply scientific findings and methods and to assess their significance and scope for the solution of complex scientific and social problems.
Career prospects
Graduates of the master's program are qualified for a responsible position in industry, technical services and academics. They are able to upgrade their qualifications by continuing with a doctorate should their qualifications be sufficient and or they can take on a sophisticated occupation in the industry.
A multitude of different sectors are open to graduates of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology: industry automation, robotics, measurement engineering, medical engineering, aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, energy engineering, electronic systems in buildings, logistics, traffic engineering, optical technologies and many more. Engineering activities range from the typical product development and planning, project planning, implementing and technical support to managerial functions, distribution and consulting. A lot of graduates set up their own businesses.
