The study programme / profile
Many technical developments are based on advances in electrical engineering and information technology. Whether smartphones, robots that provide information, refrigerators that order food independently, hydrogen-powered electric vehicles, intelligent energy grids, smart homes or the Internet of Things - our lives are becoming increasingly electric and digital. This Bachelor's degree programme will teach you all the basics you need to understand and master such networked electrical systems. This will enable you to contribute to making your and our future easier and more liveable.
The degree programme is characterised by a high practical and application orientation through exciting internships and projects. Thanks to the broad range of course content, students acquire comprehensive specialist knowledge of electrical engineering and information technology. They can deepen this individually during the course of their studies.
Our students can expect an optimal learning atmosphere thanks to small study groups, personal contact with lecturers and individual support from our student advisory service.
Contents and course of study
The degree programme comprises six theoretical semesters and one practical semester and provides students with comprehensive and interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in electrical engineering and information technology, enabling them to understand intelligent and networked systems.
LEARN MOREProfiling
The comprehensive specialised knowledge acquired in the foundation course can be specified according to individual interests and goals over the course of the degree programme. A wide range of compulsory elective modules offers a wide variety of options for subject specialisation and individual profile development. If desired, students can also choose one of 13 specialisations, such as robotics, electrical drives, energy technology, microsystems technology, communication technology or automation technology.
Profiling directions EITProspects after graduation
The broad range of subjects covered by the degree programme opens up a wide variety of career prospects in various sectors of industry after graduation, with excellent earning potential and exciting and varied tasks. Successful completion of the programme also opens up the possibility of a subsequent Master's degree or doctorate.
Study requirements
The degree programme is particularly suitable for prospective students who are enthusiastic and curious about understanding electrical systems and want to know how a smartphone, a robot or an electric motor works, for example. They may also be interested in understanding how the energy from distributed wind turbines and PV systems reaches their homes at the right time or how an electronic circuit or programme has to be professionally constructed. Students should generally have an interest in maths, engineering and computer science, but do not need to be maths geniuses - we build up knowledge from the start, offering bridge courses and tutorials.
The formal admission requirement for an application is the entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or the subject-specific or general higher education entrance qualification. Professionally qualified people (e.g. with a master craftsman's qualification) can also apply for a place on the programme under certain conditions.
1st place for our degree programme in a Germany-wide comparison
Our degree programme scores highly with students in a nationwide comparison: in the current CHE ranking by DIE ZEIT, it is listed in first place and in the top position in almost all evaluation criteria. Students are particularly positive about the excellent study situation, the comprehensive support for students, the diverse range of courses and digital teaching elements as well as the close contact with professional practice.

It is important to distinguish whether you are applying for a Bachelor's or Master's degree programme. There is also a difference as to whether the Bachelor's degree programme is admission-free or admission-restricted (with NC). Further information on the application and admission procedure can be found here.
The university determines the number of places to be allocated for individual degree programmes. From the applications received for places on degree programmes with restricted admission, the best students from various groups (Abitur, Fachabitur, master's degree, second degree, etc.) are admitted according to a ranking list until the number of places to be allocated is reached. The NC (Nurmerus Clausus, average grade for admission) is calculated each year from the average grade of the last university place awarded. Experience shows that the NC fluctuates considerably from year to year when there are only a few study places to be allocated and cannot be predicted in advance of admission. It is therefore not the grade point average required for admission that is specified in advance, but the number of study places to be allocated.
Depending on whether you have already studied something similar or the same degree programme elsewhere, you either apply for a higher semester or start a new degree programme in the first semester. If you apply for a higher semester, the creditable examination results in particular determine whether you can be admitted. More information here.
If you can prove that you have already acquired comparable skills - either through professional experience or as part of a previous degree programme - you can apply to have these recognised. The application must be submitted to the Student Service Centre and will then be reviewed by the relevant examination board. You will be informed of the decision after approx. 2-3 weeks. The application can be found here.
Once you have registered in the applicant portal and uploaded your documents, you will be kept up to date on the progress of your application. If something is missing or incorrect, which would lead to exclusion from the award procedure, you will also be notified there. The letter of admission is also available for download there. Click here to go to the applicant portal.
As part of the application process, if you accept the study place offer, you must contact your health insurance company and inform them that you intend to start studying at Landshut University of Applied Sciences. The health insurance company will then confirm directly to us via a digital message that health insurance cover is in place. If you have private health insurance, you must consult a statutory health insurance company and request confirmation of exemption. This will also be reported to us digitally. Information on health insurance during your studies can be found here.
By paying the student union fee, which must be paid before starting your studies and then once per semester, you acquire a semester ticket. This semester ticket entitles you to use local public transport in the area covered by the Landshut Transport Association (LAVV). The semester ticket is printed on the student ID card and must be presented without being asked before travelling. Details can be found here.
The student ID card is sent to you by post before you start your degree programme. You can use your student ID to pay in the canteen or use the 24-hour library, for example. The semester ticket is also printed on the student ID card. The student ID card must be revalidated for the following semester after re-registration. You can find out more here.
For all degree programmes that are not part of the continuing education academy, there are generally no tuition fees. Irrespective of this, the student union fee must be paid once per semester. This solidarity contribution provides financial support for the canteen or the student halls of residence of the Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz, for example. The semester ticket is also included. Further information here.
We would like to invite all prospective students to our information events on campus! In addition to the study information day, there are also smaller online and face-to-face events such as the university podcast or the applicant day and much more, where you can get detailed information about degree programmes and Landshut University of Applied Sciences. Our counselling services can also be used for personal consultations at any time.
At the start of their studies, our first-year students are warmly welcomed and provided with all the necessary information. You will be given an introduction to how the university platforms work, the lecture timetable, the Studium Generale and much more!
