Course objectives
The Master's degree programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology offers a flexible programme that allows students to deepen their knowledge in one specialisation, gain a broad education in several core areas and develop a detailed understanding of current technologies. In addition to the traditional courses, there are projects and seminars in which our students work in a practice-orientated way to apply their knowledge and strengthen their teamwork skills. In addition to the university's research-orientated projects, voluntary industrial practice is also encouraged. Electrical engineering is applied to other disciplines in interdisciplinary specialisations. The programme concludes with a Master's thesis.
Knowledge and skills
Our graduates have in-depth knowledge of engineering, mathematics, computer science and natural sciences, which enables them to work scientifically and act responsibly. We promote a critical awareness of new findings in their discipline.
They will be able to analyse and solve scientific problems, even if they are incomplete or contradictory. They will be able to abstract complex problems, develop innovative methods and find solutions in interdisciplinary contexts. By developing new products, processes and methods, you will apply your scientific judgement to deal with complex information.
Competences
Our graduates are able to recognise the need for information, obtain information and plan and carry out theoretical and experimental investigations. They critically evaluate data and draw well-founded conclusions. They are also able to analyse and evaluate new technologies.
In addition to their Bachelor's knowledge, they can systematically combine knowledge from different areas and deal with complexity. They quickly familiarise themselves with new tasks and responsibly reflect on the non-technical implications of their engineering activities. They scrutinise existing methods and develop them further.
Study situation
The ratio of teachers to students in the engineering degree programmes at the University of Ulm allows for excellent supervision. There is a trusting relationship between students, professors and teaching assistants. The commitment of both lecturers and student tutors from higher semesters is high and focussed on the academic success of each individual student.
We have small teaching and learning groups, excellent hardware and software equipment in the laboratories for research and teaching. Our students also benefit from our extensive e-learning programme and the participation of third-party funded institutes in national and international technology research projects. Our teaching therefore has a particularly high practical relevance.
Advantages
Our forward-looking topics in research and teaching include control processes and vehicle systems, integrated circuits and high-frequency systems, information theory and information systems technology as well as nanomaterials and components. The elective specialisations in the Master's degree programme are based on the main areas of research in engineering: Hardware Systems Engineering, Communication Technology, Micro-, Nano- and Optoelectronics, Automation and Energy Technology
Our advantage is a highly technical, industrial environment with some world market-leading SMEs and locally based global corporations such as BMW, Bosch, Airbus, Daimler, IBM, Liebherr, NSN, Porsche, Siemens or Zeiss with a high demand for young academics.
driveU
stands for Daimler Research Institute for Vehicle Environment Perception at Ulm University and is a joint innovation centre of Daimler AG and the University of Ulm to intensify research and development in the field of driver assistance systems, vehicle safety and autonomous driving functions
Study abroad
Semester abroad? Why not! Our exchange programmes offer various opportunities to meet people from different cultures and improve your language and intercultural skills. It is well worth your time to go abroad and expand your horizon, both on a personal and professional level.
The many international students on our campus also create an international flair. The International Office is here to support both incoming and outgoing students. The International Office offers international prospective students who wish to apply for a German-taught study programme at Ulm University, a preparatory course.
Career perspectives
Ulm University is embedded in a technically characterised, industrial environment that includes both strong medium-sized companies and global corporations such as BMW, Bosch, Siemens and Zeiss. These companies need young academic talent to ensure their international competitiveness.
Graduates of the Master's degree programme in Engineering have excellent job opportunities both locally and internationally. Thanks to the university's close research co-operation with leading companies, students can gain valuable practical experience and complete their theses in collaboration with industry.
Electrical engineering and information technology engineers find employment opportunities in numerous fields such as energy supply, automation technology, microelectronics and medical technology. The comprehensive training prepares them for positions in research and development as well as in management, production and sales.
Due to the high demand for well-trained graduates, a successful career start is practically guaranteed. The Master's degree also prepares students optimally for an academic career and a doctorate.
