1. Inter-disciplinary orientation: The course content combines electronics, computer science and system design to qualify students for complex technical challenges such as Industry 4.0 and autonomous systems. 2. Practice-oriented teaching: From the first semester, the focus is on laboratory projects and practice-oriented modules. Students work with modern equipment and simulate real-life applications. 3. Research orientation: Practical work, use cases, etc. Based on research and industry issues. 4. Innovative teaching methods 5. International focus: Lectures in English

1. Courses held in English: The modules are offered in English to appeal to international students and to strengthen graduates' global employability. 2. Exchange programmes and collaborations: The department maintains partnerships with universities worldwide and offers exchange opportunities as well as international research projects. 3. Intercultural support: Workshops, intercultural training and events make it easier for international students to integrate and strengthen the intercultural skills of all students.

1. Access to large-scale equipment: 3D printers, CNC machines, oscilloscopes and specialised measuring instruments in laboratories such as the Smart Engineering Lab and Hardware Engineering Lab; These devices are essential for practice-oriented projects and simulations. 2. Specific specialist databases: Databases such as IEEE Xplore and SpringerLink that provide up-to-date research results and technical standards for electronics and engineering. 3. State-of-the-art laboratory facilities: HSHL has laboratories for the development and testing of printed circuit boards, sensors and cyber-physical systems

Diverse research focuses and ongoing projects in close cooperation with non-university partners: 1. Autonomous systems and artificial intelligence: Research focuses on autonomous driving and assistance systems as well as deep learning methods, with applications in the field of mobility, smart farming, Industry 4.0 and more. 2. Cyber-physical systems and IoT: The focus is on networked systems and the Internet of Things, with projects to increase efficiency in automation and smart homes. 3. Collaborations with research institutions and industry

The Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt has a new building on both campuses, the latest technology (lecture theatres and laboratories) and also provides many student workspaces (group and individual workspaces). A large part of the university's own energy needs are covered by its solar power system. With the Institute for Sector Coupling, the university is actively committed to sustainability.
