Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (Bachelor)

Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

Study under TENSION

Electrical engineers are responsible for all the technical devices that make our lives easier and more comfortable. Teaching robots to walk, providing stability control for vehicles, enabling improved diagnostics through medical technology and creating solutions in the field of renewable energies: Hardly anything works today without chips and microprocessors.

Electrical engineering and information technology are therefore not just about hardware, but also about software. It is important to think outside the box and develop new ideas and solutions with teams from a wide variety of fields.

There are four variants of the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology study programme at Fulda University of Applied Sciences. The basic variant is the fastest way to become an engineer: the shortest number of semesters, full-time, on site and on campus.

More than electricity

During your university studies, you will learn everything about electronic systems.

Computer science

After your university studies, you will be at home not only in hardware but also in software.

Focussed on the goal

The fastest way to your dream job.

They should be curious enough to want to get to the bottom of things. And they should also have the determination to solve tricky questions. We take an interest in scientific, technical and mathematics issues for granted. What is also important is to be able to think outside the box and consider the bigger picture. After all, electrical engineers have to solve complex tasks. And that requires one thing above all: teamwork. Those who are flexible and have the necessary social competence and critical faculties have the best conditions.

While only compulsory modules are offered in the first semesters, you will later set your individual specialisation through a combination of compulsory elective modules and individual project work. In the final semester, you will acquire additional practical skills in the professional work process during a 15-week practical placement phase and allocate your Bachelor's thesis to demonstrate your ability to solve problems independently.

The following specialisations can be chosen during university studies:
 

  • Automation and Robotics
    The automation of production processes is an important competitive factor for all branches of industry in the German business sector. In the Automation and Robotics (AT) specialisation, you will acquire in-depth knowledge so that production processes can be operated economically and energy-efficiently.
     
  • Computer Engineering
    As research at the interface between computer science and electrical engineering, Computer Engineering (CE) is a key discipline in information technology. At the department, you will deal with the analysis, design and commissioning of control devices and embedded systems, such as those found in mobile phones or coffee machines.

University entrance qualification
Applicants who have not applied for their university entrance qualification at a German-speaking facility must provide evidence of German skills at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (DSH-2 or equivalent).

With German educational certificates: 15 April to 30 September
With foreign educational certificates: 1 March to 30 September

FIND YOUR STUDY OPTION

The electrical engineering and information technology study programme at Fulda University of Applied Sciences is available in four variants:

  • as full-time studies on campus
  • as a dual study programme in cooperation with an enterprise and extended practical placements
  • as extended full-time studies on site with additional supervision in the basic subjects
  • and as a study programme with adapted language requirements, in which international students start with fewer German skills and can expand their knowledge in the extended programme structure.

Crisis-proof, varied and creative

After completing your Bachelor's degree, you can go on to qualify for a Master's programme or start your career straight away.

From the automotive and computer industries to the food and pharmaceutical industries - hardly any other university studies offer such a broad range of careers as electrical engineering and information technology. New fields of activity are currently emerging, particularly in environmental and energy management, and electrical and information technology engineers are in demand in enterprises of very different sizes and in a wide variety of areas: for example, in development, sales or quality management, hardware and software production, commissioning or consulting.
