Development of knowledge, practical application skills and soft skills (including team and communication skills) for professional activities in electrical engineering; Very strong links between lectures, exercises and practicals to ensure learning success and application orientation; Very good access to teaching staff; Small practicals groups with an excellent tutor-student ratio; Distinct practice orientation through teachers who have a lot of practical experience and contacts with industry; Opportunity to spend semesters abroad via cooperations with various partner universities

The Master's degree programme offers both pathways into research and into highly application-oriented expert positions in industry. Management skills are also taught. The department cooperates with the departments of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering in the Centre of Excellence for Mobility Aachen (KMAC). In addition to the already close links with Computer Science, which is also based in the department, this opens up many interdisciplinary career opportunities for graduates.

Its location in the border triangle DE-NL-BE makes the institution perfect for cross-border cooperation, including with Katholieke Hogeschool Zuid-West-Vlaanderen, Haute École de la Province de Liège and Hogeschool Zuyd. Many students come from the Netherlands-Belgium border area or live there. Participation in the Erasmus programme. The department's partner universities include: Missouri University of Science and Technology; Weber State University; Tennessee Technological University/USA; Anyang University, South Korea; Universiti Sains Malaysia; RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia; Université Montpellier 2

Industrial robot systems (e.g. delta kinematics, articulated arm), CAD workstations, machine test benches for servo machines, maker space for rapid prototyping, buggies and sensor systems (autonomous driving environment detection), metrology technology up to 67 GHz (network and spectrum analyzers), HF metrology technology, plasma technology, positioning systems, transmitting and receiving systems (mobile radio, RFID), construction technology (soldering technology, layout software, simulation software), digital broadband transmission technology, fast hardware (ADC/DAC, FPGA, processor boards), vector signal measuring stations, high-speed hardware, 3D printer

Numerous research cooperations in and outside the UAS, including with RWTH and universities DE-BE-NL Euregio Maas; Rhine: With the RWTH Institute of Control Engineering: Development of control algorithms and test vehicles (IRT buggies); Institute of Microwave and Plasma Engineering: Reduction of radioactive waste, exhaust gas and exhaust air purification, CO2 savings in industrial heating processes, etc.; European Centre for Sustainable Mobility (ECSM); CONSENT Autoconfigured Security for Home and Industrial Networks; ARTUS Autonomous Robust Transport System for environmentally friendly raw material extraction

Students set their focus on elective courses themselves (in the main course only elective courses), emphasis can be noted on request in the certificate; The Aachen technology location enables numerous cooperations with local and transregional start-ups, companies, research institutes and the RWTH Aachen; The location in the border triangle DE-NL-BE predestines the Aachen University of Applied Sciences for cross-border cooperation; The students are highly qualified to help shape the digital transformation - in established companies, start-ups or as company founders
