Deutsch Who is the Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering suitable for?
The Bachelor’s degree programme in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Constructor University is aimed at school leavers with an Abitur as well as international prospective students who aspire to a technical career and have an interest in innovative fields such as microelectronics, embedded systems and digital signal processing. The target group mainly consists of technically inclined individuals who are passionate about mathematics, physics and computer science, appreciate an international study environment and want to experience both practical and research-oriented content in the field of electrical engineering and computer engineering. Applicants with an international school leaving qualification who are seeking a technical career in Germany or worldwide also belong to the core target group.
Which admission requirements do you have to meet?
You need a university entrance qualification, that is one of the following:
- general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur) or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification
- International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma) or a comparable international school leaving qualification that entitles you to study at German universities
The application is submitted online and requires certificates as well as usually a letter of motivation and, if applicable, proof of English skills (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS), since the degree programme is entirely taught in English. Mathematical and scientific prior knowledge is assumed; corresponding certificates or grades are taken into account in the selection process. An aptitude interview may be part of the selection procedure.
For successful participation, you should have pronounced analytical skills and an interest in technical problems. Prior knowledge of mathematics, physics and computer science is helpful, as well as enjoyment of experimental work and the willingness to understand complex contexts. Communication skills, perseverance, teamwork and openness to international and intercultural experiences are important personal prerequisites. Motivation for internships and research components as well as independent, structured working support a successful course of studies.
What does the Electrical and Computer Engineering degree programme cover?
In the Bachelor's degree programme Electrical and Computer Engineering at Constructor University, you acquire comprehensive fundamentals of electrical engineering and computer engineering. The focus is on communication systems, digital signal processing, as well as the development and programming of embedded systems used in everyday products such as mobile phones, cars and household appliances.
- First year: Introductory modules such as General Electrical Engineering I & II, Classical Physics, Digital Systems and Computer Architecture, Programming in C and C++, as well as fundamentals of Communication and Electronics.
- Second year: Deepening in Signals and Systems, Digital Signal Processing, Basics of Communication, Electromagnetics, Electronics, Wireless Communication, Information Theory and PCB Design as well as Measurement Automation.
- Third year: Specialisation modules such as Wireless Communication II, Coding Theory, Digital Design and Radio-Frequency (RF) Design. You may optionally also take modules in areas such as Optimisation, Nanotechnology or Advanced Optics.
- Methodological skills: Mathematical methods, statistics, numerical methods, probability theory, as well as training in scientific work, argumentation and data visualisation.
- Soft skills and social competences: Modules including Leadership, Community Impact and German-language or humanities topics (especially for international students).
Throughout your studies, you will build not only technical expertise but also develop analytical and communicative competencies – key skills for working in interdisciplinary teams and international contexts.
How is the degree structured and organised?
The Bachelor's degree is designed as a six-semester full-time on-campus programme in Bremen and comprises a total of 180 ECTS credits. The organisation follows the “4C Model”:
- CHOICE – Orientation year (year 1): Foundational modules from electrical engineering, computer science and physics as well as options to set individual specialisations.
- CORE – In-depth studies (year 2): Advanced subject knowledge in all key areas of the degree programme; no minor subjects are possible due to the intensive specialised focus.
- CAREER – Preparation for profession or master (year 3): Mandatory internship (2 months, usually between 2nd and 3rd year), opportunities for study abroad in the fifth semester, as well as an extensive Bachelor's thesis in the sixth semester.
- CONSTRUCTOR Track: Accompanying modules to convey interdisciplinary competences (e.g. communication, data analysis, social engagement) across all semesters.
Greater flexibility is offered through the choice of specialisations in the third year and the compulsory internship, which can also be replaced by a start-up project.
What career prospects does a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering offer you?
