Electrical Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering

These are the requirements for the Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering

With your Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, you can work as a hardware and circuit developer, a production engineer, or a support engineer.

You can be admitted to the part-time distance learning program in Electrical Engineering at IU International University if you have either a high-school diploma (general university entrance qualification), a technical college entrance qualification, or a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification.

In addition, you can also study Electrical Engineering without a high-school diploma. To be admitted to the IU distance learning program without a high-school diploma, you need to present a completed advanced training course, such as the State certified Business Administrator qualification, or a master craftsman's certificate. You can also be admitted if you have completed a vocational training and have worked full-time for at least 3 years after this training.

These are the study contents in the online study program Electrical Engineering

This Bachelor's degree at IU consists of approximately 32 modules, which you will take and complete over the course of 6 semesters of standard study time. Each module is worth 5-10 credit points (ECTS) and concludes with an examination performance such as a term paper or an exam. In total, you will earn 180 credit points from module to module and from semester to semester.

The typical course plan for full-time studies in Electrical Engineering looks like this:

• Semester 1: Introduction to Scientific Work, Linear Electrical Engineering, Mathematics: Linear Algebra, Mathematics: Analysis, Collaborative Work, Natural Science and Technical Basics
• Semester 2: Electric Fields and Alternating Current Technology, Fundamentals of Electronics: Semiconductor Physics, Electrical Measurement Technology, Mathematics: Numerics, Laplace and Fourier, Signals and Systems, Introduction to Programming with Python
• Semester 3: Digital and Information Technology, Electrostatic Fields, Fundamentals of Electronics: Electronic Circuit Elements, Circuit Simulation, Transistors and Transistor Circuits, Control Engineering
• Semester 4: Sensing Technology, Magnetic Fields, Project: Realization of Circuits, Embedded Systems, Electromagnetic Waves, Operational Amplifiers and OPV Circuits
• Semester 5: Robot Programming with C/C , Project: Microcontrollers and Logic Circuits, Electrical Machines and Power Engineering, Seminar: Current Topics in Electrical Engineering, Elective Module A
• Semester 6: Elective Module B, Elective Module C, Bachelor Thesis

One of the special features of the Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering at IU is the many opportunities to specialize in areas of interest and professional fields in the elective area.

As the first specialization, you can choose from these exciting modules: Robotics and Automation Technology, Power Engineering, Information Technology, Microelectronics.

For the second specialization, you can choose one of these study modules: Mechatronics, Sensor Technology, Electromobility, Robotics, Renewable Energies, IT Security, Nanoelectronics, Communications Technology.

As the third specialization, you can choose one of these modules: Robotics and Automation Technology, Power Engineering, Information Technology, Microelectronics, Mechatronics, Sensor Technology, Electromobility, Robotics, Renewable Energies, IT Security, Nanoelectronics, Communications Technology, Python for Software Engineering, Project Management (Specialization), Applied Sales, General Studies.

How flexible is the standard study time in the Electrical Engineering distance learning program

At IU International University, in the part-time distance learning program, you can choose from 3 study models:

• In the full-time program, the standard study time is 6 semesters or 36 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. The full-time Electrical Engineering program is particularly suitable for those who are not working or only working a few hours a week.
• In part-time program I, the standard study time is 8 semesters or 48 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time program I is suitable, for example, if you work part-time alongside your studies.
• In part-time program II, the standard study time is 12 semesters or 72 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time program II is particularly suitable if you are heavily involved professionally alongside your distance learning.

By the way, you can also take a semester break during your studies at no additional cost.

How does online study work at IU?

A study program that adapts to your life: In online studies at IU, you learn flexibly and digitally when and where you want to learn.

In the Electrical Engineering distance learning program at IU International University, there is no attendance requirement - you study continuously from home, in the library of your choice, or wherever you can learn best.

You can take your modules and lectures whenever you want. This allows you to flexibly create your study plan and semester schedule.

Central to the IU distance learning program are your interactive study scripts. You will receive the scripts both in printed form and digitally as PDFs and for tablets. Through the smart IU Learn app, you have access to the scripts for your Electrical Engineering studies as well as scripts from all other distance learning programs at IU.

Through myCampus, the online campus of IU, you also have access to additional materials, such as videos. You exchange ideas with your lecturers and fellow students, for example, in virtual live formats, such as interactive lectures.

And exams? You can take them as online exams if you prefer. An online exam can be taken around the clock once you feel sufficiently prepared. Alternatively, you can take the exam at one of the numerous IU exam centers throughout Germany.
