Admission requirements Master of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Engineering

The common admission requirement for all three Master's degree programmes is a first, professionally qualifying university degree with at least 210 credit points (according to ECTS) and a grade of at least 2.5.

The university degree must have been obtained in one of the following degree programmes (see § 3 Master's examination regulations):

  • Electrical Enginee
  • Mechatronics
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Sustainable Engineering

If you are applying for a different Master's programme than your Bachelor's subject (for example, if you are applying for the Electrical Engineering Master's programme with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering), please note that you must take all the subjects required for enrolment in the relevant Master's programme during your Bachelor's degree. You must provide evidence of these subjects when applying for a place on the Master's programme and CANNOT catch up on these subjects during the current Master's programme. This information applies to both internal and external applicants.

Master's degree Electrical Engineering

For admission to the Master's degree programme in Electrical Engineering, proof of a total of at least 15 credit points from at least two of the following subject areas is required if the previous university degree was not in a degree programme in Electrical Engineering:

  • Digital technology
  • Dynamic systems, signal processing (analogue and digital)
  • Mikrocomputer

Master's projects are offered for the degree programme in various subject groups. The themed projects and Master's projects on offer are announced every year at the end of December on the department's homepage. Prospective students can then apply on the university's central application pages.

Students with a six-semester Bachelor's degree (180 CP) can make up the missing 30 credit points through practical work experience.
