In a project, a scientific assignment for half a semester is given. It consists of scientific work, a written report, and an oral presentation.
The Master's thesis completes the course.

The core courses are Advanced Digital System Design, BioMEMS, Control Theory 1, Integrated Circuits, Process Automation in Power Grids, Sensors and Measurement Systems, a (German) language course, and labs that complete the core courses.

Elective courses can be chosen from a broad range of topics, including the following: Robotics, Microsystems, Channel Coding, Advanced Digital Communications, Advanced Control Theory, Digital Electronics and Microsystems Technology Design Techniques, Next Generation Mobile Communication Systems, Sensor Science, Internet of Things and more.

The programme is structured as three semesters of lectures, exercises, seminars, and laboratory courses, comprising fixed modules and additional elective courses, and a Master's thesis in the fourth semester. Five cooperating institutes are responsible for the organisation of the programme:

• Institute of Automation (IAT)
• Institute for Electrical Drives, Power Electronics and Devices (IALB)
• Institute for Microsensors, Actuators and Systems (IMSAS)
• Institute for Telecommunications and High-Frequency Techniques (ITH)
• Institute for Electromagnetic Theory and Microelectronics (ITEM)

Internships as such are not a part of the curriculum, but the project and the Master's thesis can be performed in industry research projects.
