Nowadays, Electrical Engineering is omnipresent. Hardly any other technical discipline has such a significant influence on our daily lives.

Computers, satellites and data networks carry the information society; modern electrical engineering provides clean and safe cars and revolutionises medicine; sustainable and intelligent energy systems contribute to the conservation of the environment. But these comforting things in our daily lives have to be developed, constructed, manufactured, reviewed for their environmental performance, sold, used and subsequently recycled.

Of course, Electrical Engineers ensure the generation of electricity as well as accessibility for industry and consumers. Especially in this field you can face new challenges to provide sustainable energy production.

Job profile

This study course enables students to take up technical and managerial posts as well as key positions in the fields of Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. Typical fields of work are as follows:
