Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, B.Sc.
Whether smartphones, electric cars, sustainable energy supply systems or innovative medical devices - electrical engineering and information technology engineers are helping to develop the future. Electrical engineering is the backbone of our modern world: a modern society is no longer conceivable without electricity, information technology and sensor technology. A comparison shows the importance of electrical engineering: Electricity is as important as blood or the bloodstream for us humans. Information technology, on the other hand, is as important as the brain and the nervous system. The course is broadly based and provides a foundation of methodological and technical knowledge. In the later semesters, students choose a specialist focus.

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.

The first four semesters
In the first four semesters, also called basic studies , you have to build a foundation of methodological and technical knowledge . The basic course is therefore largely uniform for all students - it is essentially compulsory modules .
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.

What are my job prospects?
Electrical engineers and information technicians currently have very good employment opportunities: The graduate study on the whereabouts of master's students at the University of Stuttgart shows that most graduates have found a full-time position after two months; after seven months all graduates have found a place.
Very good employment opportunities can also be expected in the future: New job profiles are constantly emerging for engineers in electrical engineering and information technology, for example in energy supply from regenerative energy sources, in medical technology, in vehicle technology through all aspects of electromobility, in the artificial intelligence, but also in the development of energy-saving processes and systems.
In which sectors do electrical and information technicians work?
In principle, a very broad spectrum of industries is open to our graduates. The specialization in the course naturally plays a role. The majority of the graduates work in the classic electronics industry, many also in the automotive industry, research and energy supply. Another field of activity is the public service, where planning and implementation activities are carried out in ministries, municipalities and offices. Consulting firms also employ engineers.
Most graduates work in the field of research and development, which means often in development departments of companies. Electrical engineers are also open to positions in project management, quality assurance or production.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | Successful students of electrical engineering and information technology bring the following skills to their studies: Above-average understanding of mathematics : As with other engineering sciences, mathematics is the language in which processes and relationships are presented. |

| Language | German C1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Directly to the university, 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 directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 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.
