Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Internationality, interdisciplinarity and high scientific standards in all degree courses. A broad foundation in electronics, mathematics and physics in the Bachelor's degree means a wide range of specialisation options in higher semesters. High level of practical relevance and close links with practice, especially in the higher semesters. In the first semesters, a wide range of support is offered in all degree programmes, e.g. a variety of tutor exercises and counselling offers

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

Internationality, interdisciplinarity and high scientific standards in all degree courses. High level of practical relevance and close links with practice, especially in the higher semesters. Various options.

Special features regarding the equipment

Due to the high third-party funding and the research strength of the School of CIT, students have the opportunity to work with high-end equipment during work during engineering and research practice, during theses and student assistant activities. As part of the numerous hands-on projects, some of which are financed by study grants, facilities, metrology and tools are available that allow work on topics relevant to the industry to be carried out close to the research.

Special features regarding research activities

The department focus on key areas of research in Centres of Competence (CoCs), in which professors and teams with various focuses research current technical issues together. There are currently nine CoCs and these are reflected in the core areas of the Master's courses. Renowned universities in Germany and abroad are among the research partners, as are large, non-university research institutions (in Germany, for example, Max-Planck, DLR, FhG) and industry. The vast majority of research is externally funded.
