Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

The Department of Electrical and Information Technology offers various special features in both the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses, which are reflected in the teaching and structure of the degree courses: Focus on the basics (teaching of solid fundamentals in mathematics, physics and the core areas of electrical and information technology), interdisciplinary approach, practical relevance (integrated work placements and laboratory exercises, excursions), individual focus from the fifth study semester onwards

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

Research orientation: Students are closely involved in the ongoing research projects of the institutes. Specialisation: Students can choose from five areas of specialisation in fields such as energy engineering, communications engineering, microelectronics, automation engineering or machine learning. International orientation: Numerous international collaborations make it possible to complete parts of the course abroad and gain international experience. Collaborations with industry, flexible programme structure with compulsory electives/elective modules and project work

Special features regarding the international orientation

The international orientation is promoted through various partnerships with universities worldwide, which opens up exchange opportunities for students. Programmes such as Erasmus+ allow students to spend semesters abroad to gain international experience. In addition, selected courses are offered in English in order to appeal to international students and to promote English as a technical language. Guest lectures and projects with an international focus expand students' perspectives and prepare them for global challenges.

Special features regarding the equipment

Technical support services: Laboratories, workshops, Stud.lP, LUH-ILIAS, flowcasts, conference tools: BigBlueButton, WebEx Meetings/Training/Events, OPENCAST studio, MEL T community

Special features regarding research activities

Students are involved in innovative research projects that focus on current technological challenges. Research focuses on biomedical engineering, digital society, sustainable energy systems and the methodological focuses on artificial intelligence and intelligent systems. Students work with interdisciplinary teams and gain access to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. These projects offer valuable insights into applied research and promote a practice-oriented education.
