Students in the lecture hall

Anyone who has completed a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related subject has qualified for the postgraduate master's degree in electrical engineering - the foundation for a successful career start, a management position or an academic career.

Master's graduates are able to apply subject-specific methods in complex situations to solve problems in depth and independently. This qualifies them in particular for research and development tasks and for working on projects and innovations.

In the Master's degree program, students leave the realm of pure factual knowledge and learn to apply specialist skills independently. Interdisciplinary perspectives and working methods round off the technical training, while additional key skills in social sciences, economics and law open up excellent access to a responsible position on the job market or in science.

The Master's degree course provides in-depth specialist knowledge in the key areas of electrical engineering, which are also available in the Bachelor's degree course:
- Automated Systems
- E-Mobility
- Electrical Energy Systems
- Electronics and Photonics
- Information Technology
- Smart Sensor Systems

The practical and research-oriented application is realized through the early involvement of students in research and development projects. Master's graduates receive the scientific qualification for a doctorate.
