Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

Twenty-first century society is shaped emphatically by the ability to communicate with each other anytime and anywhere. Ubiquitous cell phones, broadband Internet connections and networked production processes are signs of this development and will continue to develop in the long term with the widespread introduction of 5G and the planned introduction of 6G. In addition to the technological challenge, the economic and political environment define the context of this development.
Secure communications technology based on microelectronics and nanoelectronics is an essential foundation for our future society. Communications technology has long become a key technology beyond the communications industry in the narrower sense, e.g. for networking in and between vehicles, for innovative healthcare services, for the "Internet of Things" and for "Industry 4.0".
The master's degree program in Communications and Electronics Engineering therefore aims to provide a research-oriented education for engineers whose task is to continuously develop state-of-the-art technologies in the communications technology and electronics sector, to open up new research areas in these fields and, due to the international orientation of the program, to contribute worldwide to finding solutions for current challenges in the field of communications and electronics.
What you study
The core of the master’s program in Communications Engineering consists in specializing in either Communications Systems or Communications Electronics. The relevant modules are accompanied by a nine-week research project.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
The completion of the master’s program opens up job opportunities in development at communications technology companies, as well as telecommunications service providers and manufacturers of electronic components and systems. Further opportunities arise at research institutions.

Requirements and application

| Application | uni-assist (VPD) + the university, winter semester until 31.05 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 31.05uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
