The Master’s program consists of core and specialization modules of the field of study as well as one laboratory internship and one main seminar each of the field of study. In addition, elective modules and one main seminar from the range of courses offered by the entire university as well as a laboratory internship from the range of courses offered by the Faculty of Technology must be successfully completed. In addition, there is a research internship at an EE chair. The 6-month Master’s thesis serves to demonstrate the ability to work independently on scientific tasks in electrical engineering, electronics and information technology.

120 ECTS points are required for successful completion of the master’s program.

The prerequisite for the master’s program is a qualifying bachelor’s degree completed with good results in Germany or abroad with 180 ECTS and a grade of 2.5. Other comparable degrees may also be recognized if they are equivalent. If necessary, admission may be subject to certain requirements, such as passing specific exams from the bachelor’s program.

a) Consecutive degree program/subject-specific bachelor’s degree:
Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Information Technology

b) Related bachelor’s degree/admission to the master’s program possible with conditions:
Vocational education in technology: if electrical engineering and information technology was chosen as the field of study in the bachelor’s degree program Computational engineering Energy technology Information and communication technology Mechatronics Medical technology Industrial engineering: if electrical engineering was chosen as the field of study in the bachelor’s degree program

We value excellent teaching and support during studies. Our lecturers are experts in their field. They regularly receive very good evaluation results (and even teaching awards).

Perfectly networked: Short distances from the lecture halls to the laboratories and other research facilities (such as the clean room hall and the Fraunhofer Institute) on the campus of the Faculty of Engineering, as well as an optimally designed timetable, enable you to study efficiently and successfully. Close contacts between the EEI chairs and the two Fraunhofer Institutes and the renowned Max Planck Institute in Erlangen, as well as globally active industry partners and foreign universities, enable application- and practice-oriented training in a research environment at the highest international level.

After completing this degree program, you can enter a variety of fields, such as the electrical and electronics industry, mechanical and plant engineering, energy technology, the automotive, aerospace, and aviation industries, transportation technology and control, or medical and microsystems technology.
As an electrical engineer, you can be flexibly deployed in various functions and fields of activity.
In research, for example, you will work at university institutions and develop new processes or applications.
In electrical engineering companies, you will be involved in research, development, and engineering with the production of technology and the transfer of technology (to customers).
Many fields of activity are becoming increasingly complex and overlap with other specialist areas. It is therefore common to work in interdisciplinary teams. The greater the area of responsibility or decision-making authority, the further you generally move away from purely technical contexts. This requires more knowledge of organizational and business management
