Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, B.Eng.
Electrical engineering and information technology is an engineering discipline whose processes and products can be found in all areas of everyday life. This degree lays the foundation for a professional activity that can hardly be surpassed in terms of its diversity. Each student decides according to their own interests whether to secure the energy supply of the future, ensure that not only people but also machines can exchange data via the Internet or participate in the development of new medical devices. These tasks require a broad basic education and a corresponding professional deepening. Furthermore, the course offers an introduction to the methods of scientific problem solving, whereby the students acquire the ability to think and act independently in an engineering manner.

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
In the first three semesters, the required knowledge of mathematics, physics, computer science and the basic technical subjects of electrical engineering, electrical power engineering, measurement technology, electronics, control engineering and control technology is taught. From the 3rd semester, four different study profiles (specializations) are offered. The students choose one of these study profiles: Automation Technology (AT), Electrical Energy Technology (EET), Electronic Circuit Technology and Signal Processing (EES) or Information Technology/Automation Systems (IAS). In addition to the compulsory modules in the respective specializations, students can take additional subjects in the form of compulsory elective modules according to their own personal inclinations. In the 6th semester, the students complete a practical project and write their bachelor thesis.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and information technology opens up a very large field of activity, which is why it is difficult to define a uniform job profile. Graduates are employed in areas ranging from development and production to the sale of electrical and automation devices and the associated software. By choosing one of the four study profiles, you can prepare for individual areas of application in a more targeted manner, but this is not fixed. An example of a task is the networking of individual electronic components in vehicles. The Electronic circuit technology and signal processing profile is particularly suitable for this. As an alternative to starting a career, a master’s degree can be added.

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.
