Degree and duration

Regular program length of 2 years leading to a "Master of Science (M.Sc.)" degree; 120 credit points (corresponding to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System - ECTS) must be completed. Individual prorgram length may differ from regular program length.

Program structure

The master's degree program has a regular progam length of four semester. One semester is dedicated to the master's thesis. After graduation (degree Master of Science), one can continue post-graduate studies and a PhD should coursework and achievements be graded above average. 

Areas of specialization:

• Signal processing
• Biomedical Engineering
• Electric mobility
• Control systems
• Electrical drives and power electronics
• Adaptronic
• Information and automation
• Electric energy systems and high voltage engineering
• Optical technologies
• High frequency engineering
• Optical communications engineering
• Systems engineering
• Information systems
• Micro- and nanoelectronics
• Communications engineering
• Information and communication
• Regenerative energies
• Equipment systems in aeronautics
• (Specialized study modell)
• System-on-Chip
• Mico-, nano. and optoelectronics
• Electrical energy systems and energy management

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.

Electrical engineers can be found wherever electrical controls and / or engines are designed, manufactures, implemented and maintained. whether it be in electrical devices, digital devices, machines, vehicles, buildings or plants. It spans from microelectronics components to large-scale power plants. The variety of possible working sectors thus is rather vast: automotive manufacturing and supply, communication electronics, building electronics and security technology, energy generation and distribution, medical technology, automation technology and more. Electrical and information engineeris develop the relevant systems and their components, conduct research to increase their efficiency or their environmental sustainability, and install, maintain and repair them. They develop control concepts, components or software. Additional fields of work may also be process and quality management, sales and consulting.

Master's graduates can work in challenging specialist and managerial functions. A doctorate can even be considered, should the master's program be completed above-average.
