About the Electrical Engineering Bachelor's degree program

Whether renewable energies, smart gadgets or revolutionary communication technologies - with a deep understanding of electrical engineering, you can play an active role in shaping the world of tomorrow. The Electrical Engineering Bachelor's degree program aims to give you a broad understanding of electrical systems, technologies and applications. One focus is on the specializations Mechatronics, Automation Technology/Industry 4.0 and Smart Grids and Systems.

Your studies will provide you with in-depth specialist knowledge and practical experience. You will have the opportunity to give free rein to your creativity and develop solutions for the challenges of our time. Ready for the future? Then you've come to the right place! Be part of a generation that not only uses technology, but shapes it.

This is how your Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering works:

In the introductory semesters (1st - 3rd semester), the basics of the subject are taught largely independently of your previous knowledge. These are consolidated with accompanying seminars and various practical experiments. The focus of the teaching staff is on imparting knowledge and understanding. The practical teaching takes place in small groups and with direct supervision from the lecturers.

Building on the first semesters, the specialist studies begin, in which the knowledge is deepened. We offer the following specializations: Mechatronics, Automation Technology/Industry 4.0 and Smart Grids and Systems . As in the foundation course, the specialist course continues with seminars and practical experiments. You can gain your first industrial experience in the practical phase. The Electrical Engineering Bachelor's degree ends with the independent Bachelor's thesis in the 6th semester.

The choice is yours: dual is also possible!

You can also study for a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering on a dual basis: Choose the dual KIA course (cooperative study with integrated training) to perfectly combine theory and practice. In addition to in-depth theoretical knowledge, you will also receive practical training. At the end of your studies, you will not only receive a Bachelor's certificate, but also a recognized skilled worker qualification. This will give you an attractive all-round package and score points with future employers!
