The aim of the Master's programme is thus to enable graduates of a diploma or bachelor's programme to support the knowledge gained to date with further theoretical knowledge in order to meet the requirements of modern development tasks, particularly in high-tech areas, in a special way. The Master's degree paves the way for a later doctorate and thus also for work in scientific fields.

Language:

The Master's programme is taught in English. Therefore a good (B2 level) understanding of English is necessary for the study and must be proven by common language examinations such as TOEFL, IELTS for English. A list of recognised certificates can be found on our website.

Degree: Master of Science (M.Sc.)

Duration: 3 semesters (18 months)

Start: October & March (winter & summer semester)

Location : Deggendorf

Course language: English

Admission requirements :

• Admission is defined in the study and examination regulations. (§ 3 Qualification and Admission Requirements and Admission)
• Candidates for the Master Electrical Engineering and Information Technology programme at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology are required to have a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and/or IT (or related field) with an overall grade of at least 'good'.
• In addition, applicants must pass an assessment test. The assessment test  is composed of complex problems in advanced mathematics for engineering, as well as in the principles of electrical engineering and information technology and their applications.
• The digital admission test can be taken in person in Deggendorf free of charge. If you are unable to attend the test in Deggendorf, an online test is available at your convenience. However, this test will be proctored by an external service provider and as such will incur a fee of 26 USD, payable at the time of scheduling using an internationally recognised credit card (Sample test). 
• Work experience after completing the first university degree is not required for approval.
• If German is not the candidate´s first language, German A2 certification must be provided by the end of the second semester. We would like to advise all successful applicants that you will have to write a German placement test upon arrival at the university. The placement test serves to help us help you achieve your German requirements more efficiently. German courses are offered free of charge during the semester. Intensive German courses can be taken for a small fee during the semester breaks.
• If English is not the candidate´s first language, proof of English proficiency must be provided from accepted organisation: see here.

Key focus:

• Electronic and telecommunication systems
• Automation

Fees : No tuition fees, only €62 student service fee per semester

CHE ranking 2019/20:

• Leading position in  electrical engineering and information technology

The Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology teaches students the skills for handling complex new challenges in hard and software design and development, either for electronic and telecommunication systems or for automation technology, based on the respective major or focus involved.

The Master's program enables bachelor graduates to widen and reinforce their expertise with theoretical and application-oriented training, in order to meet the demands of modern development particularly in high-tech sectors. This program builds on advanced technical knowledge of electrical engineering as well as methodological and personal skills, gained through the bachelor degree.

The professional aim of a Master in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is towards a career in research and development, application management, consulting or sales of hardware and software. Furthermore, a Master is the basis for an academic career at universities and research institutes and serves as preparation for a PhD.

In the master's program deepening and broadening of theoretical and application-oriented knowledge and skills is carried out. The Master program extends the acquired professional focus of the Bachelor program by the two optional areas ‘Electronic and Communication Systems' and ‚Automation and Power Engineering'. Students can choose either for deepening of their knowledge by continuing their focus of the Bachelors, or for professional diversification by choice of the other focus in the master. The Master-students gain the ability for independent scientific work, which is also promoted by the relation of the Master's program to the research activities of the faculty and the faculty staff. They gain knowledge of methodological approaches and current research literature. Fundamentals of engineering are applied to real-world problems, which are derived from research projects and experiences within the faculty to develop skills and competencies for solving problems in the areas of design, test, development, and research. Furthermore, the ability is stimulated to quickly and systematically learn the ropes.

Focusing on ‘Electronic and Communication Systems (ENS)’, graduates have acquired in-depth knowledge in the areas of advanced components and systems of micro- and opto-electronics, and have extensive knowledge in many applications of rf-technology. They are in particular able to analyze, structure and solve practical problems in the field of micro- and opto-electronics and communication engineering as well as in related domains. They also have expanded and intensified the expertise to design systems in rf- and communications technology.

The focus in ‘Automation (AT)’ is on automotive and industrial drive systems. Graduates have knowledge in numerous applications of automation and in-depth knowledge of modern sensor technology and control technology. They are able to deal with issues of automation technology, industrial sensor technology and drive technology and to apply current techniques. Furthermore, the graduates have the ability to identify the applicability of automation and merge process modeling and simulation for system analysis. They have the competence to assess, structure and solve problems in the field of drives as well as related topics.

Furthermore, the economic fundamentals are supplemented and expanded towards Business- and HR-Management.

Companies are increasingly confronted with international interdependencies ('globalisation'), complex organisational structures and increasingly complex technology. In addition to an international orientation, there are increased demands on qualified engineers in research and development or with management tasks.

The markets of the digital world of today and tomorrow need more and more highly qualified engineers in electronics and information and communication technology who are capable of creative work with in-depth theoretical knowledge and a broad spectrum of expertise. With the Master of Science you are optimally prepared for the future.

The international orientation of a Master of Science and the high scientific standard of the training give you the necessary security at the start of your professional life and the companies or research institutions the guarantee to employ highly qualified staff.

If you are among the best, you will have the best prerequisites to complete a doctorate after completing your Master's degree.
