Electrical Engineering Kempten University of Applied Sciences

English

With the introduction of the international Master's programme "Electrical Engineering" the faculty of Electrical Engineering has reacted to the ever more complex challenges in the area of electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunication technology in internationally operating companies.
The Master's programme has a duration of three semesters and is completely taught in English. The curriculum covers a broad spectrum of topics. You will learn how to operate flexibly in a company with dynamic business requirements, and you will also have the opportunity to work right where challenging and complex topics in electrical engineering and communication technology occur.
The study programme is designated for both German applicants and foreign applicants. Foreign students are especially welcomed to our Master's programme "Electrical Engineering" and should always feel encouraged to apply. The international character of the programme, i.e. German and foreign students studying side by side, allows our students to hone their social competencies and skills with people of different cultural backgrounds. This adds an extra dimension to the programme, which is highly regarded by international companies.
We have established and maintain links and foreign exchanges with more than 80 universities around the world and we intend to expand international relations by offering this Master's programme.
As a graduate of our Master of Engineering programme, you will find doors opening worldwide; aside from gaining purely technical qualifications, this programme will also prepare you for a future leadership position.

We offer all international students arriving in Kempten a two-week induction programme. The induction programme for the winter semester starts in mid-September, and the actual semester starts on 1 October.

The Master's programme "Electrical Engineering" takes three semesters. It consists of two semesters of lectures and laboratory training, and a third semester primarily dedicated for completing your Master's thesis.
The course is mostly application-oriented and very practice-focused. Through the choice of elective modules and the topic of your scientific project as well as the topic of your Master's thesis you can, to a certain extent, apply a major to your studies.
The Master's thesis can either be done in a company in cooperation with a professor from Kempten University of Applied Sciences or with a professor from a partnering university. It can also be conducted in one of the university's laboratories.
