Electrical Engineering and Information Technology International (Master of Science)

Electrical Engineering and Information Technology International (Master of Science)

Innovations in electrical engineering and information technology are the basis for a smart, automated and interconnected world. In the international master’s program at the h_da, students acquire the tools for their career in this forward-looking market. With the four main focuses Automation, Communications, Embedded Systems and Microelectronics as well as Power Engineering, the program covers all important disciplines. It enables students to diversify or specialize in a wide range of fields. They learn and work in intercultural teams. The language of instruction is English.

Structure

The application-oriented programme consists of two semesters at the h_da, followed by two project semesters in industry. In addition, mandatory German courses and intercultural workshops are part of the curriculum for international students. In order to ensure a successful start into the studies, technical hands-on preparatory courses and excursions are offered in September and March. 

Access

As a prerequisite, a Bachelor’s degree of at least a six-semester academic program in electrical engineering or a closely related field is expected. A clearly discernible motivation with excellent past academic accomplishments in fields relevant to electrical engineering is indispensable. High priority is given to IT experience. The overall impression that the candidate offers, with proven proficiency in English, including technical English, is very important to us.

For international applicants the 4-semester programme starts each year in the autumn semester. They pass through an included internship semester. For applicants holding a German 7-semester bachelor degree the 3-semester programme starts each year in the autumn and spring semester. All information needed is available through the website https://mse.h-da.de and is the first point of access, as it provides useful information for potential applicants.

Perspective
