What the tuition fee consists of
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.
Programme selection →What you study
Our master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering consists of two semesters of lectures, exercises and practical elements, after which the third semester is devoted primarily to the master’s thesis. Each semester of study accounts for 30 ECTS Credit Points.

Pick programmesCareer
As a future graduate from the master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering, the academic title M.Eng. identifies you as having the ability to work your way into new electrical engineering tasks and facets at an advanced level relatively swiftly due to the broad range of subjects that you have studied. All areas of research and development are open to them, not to mention production, planning, operations and management. A Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) formally qualifies you fundamentally to commence doctoral studies (Doctor of Engineering or PhD) at universities either in Germany or abroad. It can also gain you entry to senior service levels in state institutions. The classic fields of work for graduates from this master’s degree programme are energy generation, transmission, distribution and application, electrical drives and automation engineering, mechatronic systems, electronics, microcomputing technology, information and communication technology, microwave and high-frequency technology, to name just a few.

A great number of job openings for master’s graduates arise in small and medium-sized enterprises or major companies in the electrical sector. However, electrical engineering products and systems, and thus also jobs, are also to be found in many other fields, such as mechanical engineering – e.g. in the automotive and aviation industries, machine tools, robots, etc. – but also in building technology and in general medical and hospital spheres. For example, a new and future-focused discipline that’s just starting to emerge is “AAL” (Ambient Assisted Living). The broadly based advanced electrical engineering training that our graduates have completed on this master’s degree programme also make them exceptionally well suited to working in this particular field.
Extensive surveys amongst international industrial companies have shown unequivocally that graduates from this master’s degree programme are desperately sought after for demanding roles and special positions.
The high level of specialist expertise and flexibility in deployment that this master’s degree in Electrical Engineering attributes to you give you a clear competitive advantage over bachelor’s graduates and outstanding, high-flying career prospects.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | To embark upon the master’s degree programme in Electrical Engineering at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, you must hold a first degree in electrical engineering and information technology |
|---|---|
| Language | English B2 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Directly to the university, winter semester until 15.01, summer semester until 30.06 |
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 directly to the university until 15.01Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 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.
