Inter-disciplinary, fundamental orientation, application related, practical relevance, research related, reference, high flexibility, continuous adaptation to the requirements of industry and science; Sound basis in Mathematics and Physics, broad foundation training in all fields of Electrical and Information Technology and information Engineering as the basis for subsequent specialisation.; focus on transition to Master's degree course without loss of time. Specialisations can be chosen from over 20 broadly based specializations in the Master's program (a broad range of specialisation areas that is also unique at the international level).

A large number of international cooperation partners have started from renowned research institutes and universities such as MIT (USA); AIST (Japan); Technion (Israel), NUS (Singapore), INP (Grenoble), ESIEE (Paris), University of Southampton, Universidad Pontificia Comillas (Madrid) and industrial companies such as ABB, Synopsis, Nokia, Mitsubishi Electric, Sony, Daimler, Siemens, Bosch, EADS.

First-class equipment and state-of-the-art IT facilities in the labs for teaching and research. The facilities also include large-scale equipment which can be used for final theses. In addition to lecture halls fully equipped with media technology for lectures and exercises in large and small student groups, there are also numerous spaces available for tutorials and exercises in small groups.

A variety of current research topics from all fields of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology through close collaboration with industry: Autonomous Systems; Fuel Cells; Solar Cells; Displays And Optoelectronics; Biomedical Engineering; Micro and Nanoelectronics; Wave propagation and communication; Antennae and Radar Technology; High-performance Microwave Technology; Location and Navigation; Automotive Engineering; Photonics and Communication; System-on-Chip and Embedded Systems; High Voltage Engineering; Aerospace; Internet of Things; Renewable Energy; Power Grids of the Future
