The Master's program in Electrical and Computer Engineering focuses on the in-depth subjects of the chosen major:
mainly in German:
- Energy Technology (ENT)
- Integrated Systems (INS)
- Communication Technology (KOM)
- Mechatronics (MET)
mainly in English:
- Automation Technology (AUT)
- Embedded Systems (ESY)
In addition, in seminars, laboratories and project work, you will work independently on real world problems and learn how to apply your knowledge to them.
Graduates of the Master's program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (EIT) are able to...
- describe, analyze and structure given technical problems in an abstract and networked way.
- calculate, design, test and use electrical and information technology components, machines, plants and systems and the processes for their manufacture.
- design, implement, test and evaluate problem- and goal-oriented technical solutions using mathematical, simulative and algorithmic methods for practical tasks.
- name scientific methods and use them in a demand-oriented manner to acquire new knowledge.
- work in projects in a goal- and deadline-oriented manner in a team.
- present their goals, plans, methods and results in a structured and target group-oriented manner.
- assess and evaluate their actions with regard to economic, legal, sustainable and social aspects.
- recognize gaps in their knowledge and qualifications independently and close them if necessary (lifelong learning).
The Master's program in Electrical and Computer Engineering brings you up to date with the latest research. With seminars and project work, you will deepen your methodological and technical skills and learn to work independently in a goal-oriented manner. The Master's thesis concludes your studies and gives you another opportunity to hone your personal profile with a suitable topic.

German language skills are required. Depending on the chosen major, a good knowledge of English may also be required.
Our Master's program does not include a compulsory internship. If you would still like to gain practical experience, in addition to a voluntary internship this is possible through external project work or Master's theses, for example.
Of course, you also have the opportunity to spend part of your studies abroad. Further information: https://eit.rptu.de/en/studies/study-abroad
