The course of study
The Bachelor's programme in Electrical Engineering is oriented towards basic principles and methods. Within 6 semesters of study, it imparts all the professional-qualifying basics and methods required to solve problems in the field of electrical engineering. A specialization takes place only in the Master's program. Another goal is to impart key skills such as communication and teamwork skills, presentation and moderation skills. A high value is placed on the fact that the students acquire a sound specialist and system knowledge in the core areas of electrical engineering, which is imparted by the basic modules. This enables the understanding and analysis of interrelationships in electrotechnical systems.

Career prospects
Electrical engineering is climate-relevant: Engineers make our energy system future-proof and develop environmentally friendly vehicles, communication and sensor systems.
- Shaping the future humanely: Engineers create the technology of tomorrow taking into account ethical aspects
- Electrical engineers are highly paid experts with steep careers
- Versatile career paths: Electrical engineers work in research, development, production planning and more – it never gets boring!
This is what Sarah Schaumann and Christina Werner say about their course of study:
“Many ways to be part of something new to improve old systems.”

Sarah: I chose ‘electrical engineering’ because I knew that the job prospects are very good and that the area of professional specialisation is very large. In addition, there are many opportunities to go abroad and work in other countries for a certain period of time. I liked the challenge of getting to know a completely different area, learning new things. And, I don't want to lie, it amuses me to see people's faces when I tell them my field of study at university.
I think a lot of people always think that electrical engineering has to do with either programming, sitting in an office at the PC and writing software for the rest of your life, or it's about big, mysterious machines that are super hard to understand. But it's much more than that. An engineer must be able to plan, coordinate, create... And we need engineers who can come up with new ideas for many critical problems: How to reduce CO2 emissions, how to make machines sustainable, it is possible to recycle many more industrial waste products. There is a huge future aspect, there are so many ways to be part of something new to improve old systems.
Christina: I've been working at a company that makes lasers since I was in high school. Since I wanted to learn more about how these lasers work and how they are developed, I decided to study electrical engineering. Engineering is a future-oriented thing. For example, how to combat global warming or how to advance medical technology. In addition, there are many professions that require engineering studies in combination with soft skills such as communication and organizational skills. These qualities are essential in project management.
Ultimately, it depends much more on how ambitious and goal-oriented you are than on how talented you were in school. Here's a little message to the women out there: Don't underestimate yourself, you'll be surprised at what you're capable of. Remember, technology isn't just for guys, technology is for people. And wouldn't it be great to find out what we can achieve in the future if women and men pool their skills? ⁇
Important information
A relevant pre-study internship with a minimum duration of 14 weeks should usually be completed before registering for the first examination in the 3rd semester. Subject-specific semesters can be proven. Electrical engineering is also offered as a practice-integrated dual degree program (study + practical work in the company).
