Electrical Engineering, B.Sc.
Electrical engineering is one of the classic disciplines of engineering and lies at the heart of almost all cutting-edge technologies and developments, whether it be electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, medical technology, robotics, computer chips, information technology or mobile phones. It focuses in particular on all applications involving electricity and its related physical effects. In addition, modern electrical engineering has extended its reach to cover a wide array of related fields.
The classic areas of concentration in electrical engineering are energy technology, electrical machines, automation and control engineering, telecommunications engineering and information theory, measurement technology, microwave and high-frequency engineering and electronics.

Will I get in
Every applicant who meets the formal requirements is admitted — but places can run out before the deadline, so apply at the start of the window.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →About the programme
Durch die fachliche Breite der Forschung der Ingenieurwissenschaften an der Universität Ulm ist auch das Studium breit und vielfältig ausgerichtet. Dies wird z.B. deutlich durch zukunftsweisende Themen der Forschung und Lehre in Bereichen wie:

- Regelungsverfahren und Fahrzeugsysteme
- Integrierte Schaltungen und Hochfrequenzsysteme
- Informationstheorie und Informationssystemtechnik
- Nanomaterialien und Bauelemente
Im Unterschied zu Hochschulen, die oft von Beginn an auf bestimmte Anwendungsbereiche spezialisieren, ist das Ingenieursstudium an der Universität Ulm bewusst breiter und allgemeiner angelegt.
Den Studierenden wird ein intensives Grundlagenstudium geboten, in dem neben einer Ausbildung in Mathematik, Physik und Informatik alle elektrotechnischen Grundlagen vermittelt werden. Ab dem 3. Semester kommen dann immer mehr Vertiefungsmöglichkeiten dazu, die insbesondere als Vorbereitung auf ein spezialisiertes Masterstudium vorbereiten.
What you study
The bachelor’s degree programme in electrical engineering has a primarily scientific orientation and provides students with the basic skills necessary for engineering work, preparing graduates in the best way for pursuing a master’s degree at a university. In addition, this bachelor’s degree programme includes hands-on projects, key qualifications and an optional industry placement, thereby qualifying graduates to begin a career.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
The graduate possesses a sound knowledge base in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science and has learned to work scientifically. He is therefore versatile in industry, in research and development, production, maintenance and sales.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German C1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Via uni-assist, winter semester until 15.07 |
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.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, 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.
