Electrical Engineering for Mobile Systems (M. Eng.)

Application
Students of Applied Research in Engineering Sciences may begin their course in the summer or winter semester.

Registration dates
Applications for this degree may be submitted through the online application system from 2 May to 15 July (for the winter semester) and from 15 November to 15 January (for the summer semester).

Prerequisites
Bachelor’s degree with at least 210 ECTS credit points in the field of electrical engineering, IT, mechatronics, a related subject or an equivalent qualification, acquired either in Germany or abroad. As a general rule, a minimum duration of three and a half years or seven semesters is required in cases where applicants hold a bachelor’s degree that is not based on the ECTS credit point system. A decision is made each semester as to whether admission limitations apply and what these are. The grade average or waiting period required to gain a place is not stipulated in advance but will depend on the number of applications and capacity available.

The dual studies programme enables a combination of practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.

In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!).

Although the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering of Mobile Systems is adapted to the needs of the automotive industry, graduates have a broad field of work in the area of electromobility from electric railway technology to electrically assisted driving in bicycles, motorbikes and electromobility in medical technology to the mobile devices of the "consumer" industry. For years, the number of employees in these areas of electrical engineering has been increasing significantly and steadily. However, the methods learned can also be excellently applied to portable devices, such as laptops, mobile phones and battery-powered machine tools, etc., thus considerably expanding the graduates' areas of application. Engineers with this knowledge are not only needed in product development, but also increasingly in manufacturing and testing. In Bavaria in the automotive industry, the demand for engineers with the training profile described is particularly pronounced in the cities of Munich and Ingolstadt due to the large presence of car manufacturers and the numerous suppliers.

The job profile of graduates is characterised by tasks in the areas of research, pre-development and development with a wide range of applications from the automotive industry to electromobility in the medical sector and mobile devices in the "consumer" industry.

The degree programme achieves a close interlocking of theory and practice through the large presence of automotive industrial companies in the region. In order to optimally prepare the students for the diverse tasks in industry and in the scientific field, the focus of the education is on the modelling and simulation of technical systems of electromobility.
