The Bachelor’s degree program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology enables students to independently utilise scientific knowledge and methods in the field of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and to quickly familiarise themselves with one of the numerous fields of application.

The aim of the program is to gain the ability to analyse, design and implement complex systems in the field of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in the framework of a structured approach. This is achieved by teaching a balanced combination of basic and specialised knowledge of the current state of the art as well as the technique of methodical approach.

Module descriptions

The degree program is divided into three parts: two semesters of orientation, a one-semester foundation course and four semesters of a specialisation phase, which includes a technical project, an industrial placement lasting one semester and the final thesis.

Orientation phase

The orientation phase is intended to teach the basics of

• mathematics, including the use of modern tools
• information technology
• electrical engineering
• physics and materials technology

In both semesters there will be an interdisciplinary module which establishes connections between the various subject areas, while also providing an application reference.

Foundation course

The foundation course, worth 30 CP, includes the 3rd semester with compulsory modules that teach the basics skills of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology:

• system theory
• electrical metrology
• electronic components and circuits
• field theory
• electromagnetic compatibility

There will also be one interdisciplinary module.

Specialisation phase

This part allows the students to build their own individual profiles. It is made up of the following components:

• modules of a specialisation
• a technical project
• a practical semester
• the thesis including a Bachelor’s seminar
• individually selectable modules

There is a wide variety of fields electrical engineers can work in. In order to do justice to those many opportunities and the individual inclinations and interests of students, each student has to choose between one of the following specialisations.

• Automation and robotics
  Modern industrial production is often characterised by a high degree of automation and use of robots. Not only the classic industrial robots are typical nowadays, but there are also collaborative robots in a growing number of small or medium-sized companies as well as other robot applications. This specialisation will shine light on the use of robotic systems in various contexts with a connection to the use of Artificial Intelligence and industrial image processing and control engineering as well as topics of product engineering.
• Electronic systems
  Electronic devices are everywhere. Both in everyday life and the industrial and professional environment, these devices are growing ‘smarter’ and more interconnected. They gather and process a multitude of data. This focus addresses both analogue and digital circuits and their use in the context of embedded systems.
• Energy technology
  Against the background of global challenges such as climate change, a sustainable and resource-efficient energy supply is more important than ever. This specialisation covers the areas of (renewable) energy generation and distribution, electrical machines and energy storage.
• Communication systems
  The availability of broadband communication systems is a key element for increasing the efficiency of processes in many areas, such as industrial production, logistics, corporate management, public administration and education. Furthermore, it is vital in the private shere. This specialisation includes subjects like high frequency technology, digital communication technology, digital signal processing and radio systems.
• Information systems
  Information is collected and processed in electronic systems of all sizes – from embedded systems to global energy supply systems. Both the growing amount of data as well as the advancing connections are influencing the development of software and the different ways of storing and processing data. Therefore, a growing protection against attacks and manipulation is required. This specialisation teaches abilities in the areas of software engineering, advanced programming, database systems, the application of Artificial Intelligence and industrial safety.

There is a catalogue of selectable modules for each specialisation.

Both in the private and professional enviroment is the interaction with systems of the field of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology omnipresent. This course of studies qualifies graduates for jobs in various fields of application such as

• Mobility
• Intelligent and efficient production
• Internet of Things

and in different scopes of activities such as

• Product development
• system integration
• Project management
• production scheduling
• Service

in companies of all sizes, Start-Ups, and in research facilities. To achieve this, methods and specialist knowledge from all key-areas are being taught. The students are enabled to analyse and work with complex challenges on the basis of profound expertise. They can develop innovative concepts of solutions and implement them in products. This course of studies leads to a first professional academic degree. Upon a successful graduation the THA will award the academic degree Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.).

Furthermore, this course of studies qualifies graduates for admission to a master’s degree program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology or related areas.

Graduates are able to

• systematically develop innovative products
• simulate system behaviour
• technically implement and document prototypes of various degrees of maturity and
• work goal-oriented and responsibly in Teams.

Go out!

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering supports their students to spend some time in another country. Students may choose to study a semester at another university, complete a project or their industrial internship in a foreign country or go abroad for their final thesis.

There is a so-called International Faculty Coordinator as a contact person at the faculty if you have any questions regarding the planning or realisation of your stay abroad. The Centre for Languages and Intercultural Communication (Zentrum für Sprachen und interkulturelle Kommunikation, ZSI) offers cross-faculty advice and support.

Opportunities at the university!

Augsburg University of Applied Sciences also offers additional in-depth language training and some modules are held in English.

The Center for Languages and Intercultural Communication (Zentrum für Sprachen und interkulturelle Kommunikation, ZSI) offers a range of courses to improve the students’ intercultural skills and awareness.

• Zentrum für Sprachen und interkulturelle Kommunikation (ZSI)

International first-year students are offered support through a Buddy Programme.

Students should have an interest in science and technology and possess creativity, curiosity and some inventive talent.

Start of studies is in the winter term only.

Annual application period: 2 May - 15 July

Apply via the Application portal of the THA. Further information and the application period is available at https://www.tha.de/Bewerbung.html.
