The programme includes in-depth teaching of the basics and individual specialisation opportunities in the fields of automation technology (including robotics), electrical energy engineering, microsystems and nanoelectronics, information and communication technology, renewable energy engineering, electromobility and biomedical engineering. With a Bachelor's degree, graduates have the option of starting their career or continuing their education with a consecutive Master's degree.

Building on a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Information Technology, various German- and English-language Master's degree programmes offer the opportunity to specialise within a specific subject area. These are accessible to Bachelor's graduates from German and international universities. Most Master's degree programmes also offer the opportunity to gain practical experience within the framework of creditable industrial or research work placements.

With four Master's degree courses taught completely in English (Micro and Nano Systems, Information and Communication Systems, Embedded Systems, Design and Test for Integrated Circuits), largest proportion of international students at TU Chemnitz. International Research Training Group "Materials and Concepts for Advanced Interconnects and Nano Systems" (partner country: China). Close cooperation with the University of Sfax in Tunisia, especially in the subject area of embedded systems as well as measuring and sensor technology.

Specific to the Chemnitz Faculty of Electrical and Information Technology is the organisation of the individual research fields around the Centre for micro- and nanotechnology (ZfM), which acts as the technological basis and stimulator. It is an essential prerequisite for the development of the faculty's high level of research and teaching competence in the field of micro- and nanotechnologies.

The research focuses in the faculty are wide-ranging. Examples include the regulation of agricultural and energy systems, image processing in nursing, intelligent communication between vehicles, design and testing of micro- and nanosystems, smart miniaturised sensor and actuator systems in medicine, intelligent robot skin, energy-saving semiconductors for large drives and much more.

Synergies in research and teaching through cooperation with institutes in the subject area located close to the campus, such as the Centre for Microtechnologies and Nanotechnologies (ZfM) of the Faculty of Electrical and Information Technology, the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems (ENAS), the Centre for Materials, Architectures and Integration of Nanomembranes (MAIN), the Fraunhofer Institute for Tooling and Forming Technology (IWU), the MERGE Lightweight Research Cluster and the Innovation Cluster for Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (HZwo).
