Programme content
The course content is broadly diversified through the combination of technical, business and international expertise. Upon successful completion, you will have the necessary skills to lead activities or interdisciplinary projects and take responsibility for decision-making. You will be able to take responsibility for the professional development of yourself or others.
The development of language and intercultural skills is therefore also an important part of the programme.

Study programme
The Bachelor's degree programme comprises six theoretical semesters and one practical semester. A total of 210 ECTS credits are earned. The programme has a modular structure.
The modules in semesters 1 to 4 teach the basics of technology and business administration as well as their integrative combination and international application. The development of language and intercultural skills is therefore also an important part of the programme.
The 4th semester is followed by the practical semester and two theoretical semesters of the specialisation programme, including the Bachelor's thesis.

Practical orientation
All degree programmes at the Faculty of Electrical and Industrial Engineering are characterised by a high degree of practical and application orientation.
In addition to the theoretical lectures, many of the modules on offer include laboratory practicals with specific content. In these, the theoretical knowledge acquired is tested, expanded and consolidated in practice in our more than 20 modern laboratories. Project work also serves to creatively and practically implement what has been learnt.
In the 5th semester, students also complete a practical semester of at least 80 working days in a company of their choice in Germany or abroad.
