Electrical Engineering, B.Sc.
If you are interested in finding out what is going on inside a cell phone, a digital camera or a satnav, would like to contribute to developing solutions to global energy problems, be involved in constructing satellite systems, or finding new methods of wireless data transfer, then the bachelor’s program in Electrical Engineering is for you. Electrical engineering is a branch of engineering science dealing with the research and development of electrical engineering systems and plants. Communications engineering and information technology have also become important aspects of electrical engineering as the boundaries between the different areas of computer science become more fluid. The wide range of topics offered in the bachelor’s program in Electrical Engineering at Technische Universität Berlin very much reflects this development. One area of focus is energy engineering, covering subjects such as high voltage engineering, energy supply networks, electrical drives, power electronics, and lightning engineering. The program also focuses on electronics and information technology, covering fields such as information transmission, communication networks, digital image processing, microelectronics or high frequency engineering. A third area of focus embraces automation engineering, including measurement data processing as well as automation engineering methods in medicine.

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 →What you study
The Electrical Engineering bachelor’s program consists of four semesters devoted to teaching fundamental principles and two semesters of specialization into which you can also incorporate a stay abroad. Once you have acquired the fundamental principles in the core areas of electrical engineering as well as mathematics, physics, and computer science, you will focus on one of three areas of specialization: electrical energy engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, and automation engineering. You will write your bachelor’s thesis at the end of the program. The Bachelor of Science qualification is an internationally recognized degree qualifying you to work in your profession.

Pick programmesCareer
As a graduate of the Electrical Engineering bachelor’s program you can continue your education with a master’s degree or directly begin working. The prospects are excellent. As electrical engineering permeates our environment, you can find work in a number of fields, particularly in those of social relevance such as energy transition, electromobility, modern medical technology, and Industrie 4.0. Electrical engineers can take up positions in nearly all branches of the industrial and service sectors, working in research and development, production, IT consultancy, project management, or technical sales for energy suppliers, telecommunication companies, for manufacturers of telecommunications hardware, generators or biomedical engineering equipment, for the automobile and the aerospace industries, as well as within the electrical engineering or IT sectors.

Another tipp: start your own business. Berlin is currently home to the most vibrant start-up scene in Europe. There are a number of institutes and facilities within the University offering you the chance to get some inspiration and to support you with setting up your own business. These include the award winning Career Service and the Centre for Entrpreneurship (CfE). The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science additionally has its own representative for business start ups to provide you with practical advice and to put you in touch with a valuable network.

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 31.08uni-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.
