Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
On the degree programme at THI, you will learn how to design, develop and operate electrical and information technology systems, ranging from the tiniest chips and sensors, through smartphones and control units, to electric vehicles and industrial plant.
In the first stage of your studies, you will acquire the fundamentals of mathematics, electrical engineering and programming, supported by exercises and practical sessions.
In the second stage, you will build on your core competencies in electrical and information technology and tailor your specialisation to your individual interests. A work placement semester at a company in Germany or abroad will enable you to gain your first hands-on engineering experience. In a team project, you will have the opportunity to engage intensively with the development of an electrical and information technology system. You will learn techniques for presenting your results, as well as the fundamentals of academic work, in seminars. You will complete your degree with your Bachelor’s thesis, either at a company or in the THI’s laboratories.
As a graduate of the Bachelor’s programme in Electrical and Information Technology at THI, you will enjoy a wide range of career opportunities, such as working as an engineer in Industry 4.0, renewable energy, communications technology or electromobility. Potential roles range from research and development, through production planning and quality assurance, to technical sales.
What careers are available with a degree in Electrical Engineering?
Graduates can choose from a wide range of activities as an engineer. They plan, develop and control electrical and mechatronic systems, plants, devices, circuits, control units and components for various technical facilities. Current and future developments in the areas of Industry 4.0, renewable energies, communication technology and electromobility rely on electrical engineers and information technicians.
Labour market opportunities and earning potential are very good. During the practical semester and an industry-related Bachelor's thesis, students make their first, pioneering contacts with companies. The areas of employment range from research and development, production planning and quality assurance to technical sales in various sectors.

First stage of studies
Studies begin with an introductory team project, in which the principles of electrical engineering and information technology are taught using a mobile robot.
The fundamentals of natural sciences are covered by courses in engineering mathematics (1+2) and physics, while those of electronics are taught in the subjects of electrical engineering 1+2, electronic components and measurement technology, and the fundamentals of computer science in courses in digital technology, foundations of programming 1 and signals and systems.
Second stage of studies
Third and fourth semesters:
Courses in the fields of electrical engineering and electronics comprise such subjects as fields and waves, circuit design and power electronics, microcomputer technology and control engineering. Computer science skills are developed in subjects such as applied mathematics, digital signal processing, information transmission systems, computer networks, and foundations of programming 2.
Fifth semester:
The practical semester is a chance for students to gain initial engineering experience in a company either here or abroad. Moreover, fundamentals of business management are taught in the form of a block module. A concluding seminar imparts the techniques of presentation, and the experiences from the practical semester are discussed with other students.
Sixth semester:
Additional subjects that expand students' skills in electrical engineering and information technology include electrical drive systems, high frequency engineering, telecommunications and software engineering. A project is conducted over the course of the semester to allow individual specialisation and, in conjunction with project management, interdisciplinary development.
Seventh semester:
Three electives and the bachelor's thesis offer an opportunity for individual specialisation. The electives are selected from an extensive list that covers the entire breadth of electrical engineering and information technology. The bachelor's thesis can be written at a company in this country or abroad or in the laboratories at the THI.
Applying for a degree course
Students may only begin their degree in the winter semester.
Since the program is not subject to admission restrictions, applications are submitted exclusively via the PRIMUSS-application portal THI.
Registration dates
Information on the application period and the application procedure can be found here: "Application for a Bachelor study course"
Admission requirements
To gain admission to the programme, applicants need one of the following qualifications for university entrance:
- Abitur (European Baccalaureate, A-Levels, High School Diploma)
- Fachhochschulreife (Vocational Baccalaureate)
- Fachgebundene Hochschulreife (Specialised A-Level)
The following link provides specific information about the application process for admission to the degree programme.
Admission requirements for international students
If you wish to study at a German University, you need a so-called Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (HZB), or higher education entrance qualification. This is a secondary school-leaving certificate that corresponds to the German Abitur and entitles you to study.
Students from abroad must apply for admission from the university of their choice. For your application, you will require for a Bachelor's degree:
- a school-leaving certificate (also known as "university entrance qualification", e.g. High School Diploma, Matura, A-Levels, Bachillerato, Atestat, baccalauréat)
or - proof that you have passed the university entrance examination (if required in your home country)
