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, for example, as an engineer in automation technology, in energy technology, or in information & telecommunication technology.

For the dual study program at IU International University, you can be admitted if you either have a high school diploma (general university entrance qualification), a technical college entrance qualification, or a subject-specific university entrance qualification.

In addition, you can study Electrical Engineering without a high school diploma. For the dual study program without a diploma, you need a completed advanced training course, such as becoming a state-certified business economist, or you have completed an apprenticeship and worked full-time for at least 3 years after completing this apprenticeship.

These are the study contents in the Dual Study Programme Electrical Engineering

This Bachelor's programme at IU comprises around 40 modules that you will take and complete over a period of 7 standard semesters. 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 210 credit points from module to module and from semester to semester.

3. Upon request, you can take a free applicant training to prepare you for applications in potential companies.
4. Together with you, the study advisory service will look for the right practical partner. The university will either place you in a company from their extensive network or reach out to your desired company.

These are the cities where the Electrical Engineering studies are offered

With over 30 study locations throughout Germany, IU International University is present across Germany for Dual Studies in all disciplines.

The Dual Study Programme in Electrical Engineering is currently offered by the university in cities such as Düsseldorf, Cologne, and Stuttgart.

On campus, you will attend your lectures and seminars, for example. In the lounge area, you can exchange ideas with your fellow students. Depending on the city, you can also use the canteens, cafeterias, and libraries of other universities - for instance, at the Berlin location.

Studying Electrical Engineering at the Virtual Campus of IU

At the Virtual Campus, you learn digitally and with maximum flexibility in small study groups.

If there is no IU campus near you, or if you prefer flexible and digital learning, you can also enroll at the so-called Virtual Campus of IU.

At the Virtual Campus, you attend your Electrical Engineering classes, for example, via regular video conferences with your fellow students and lecturers.

Through IU's learning platform myCampus, you get access to study materials and the virtual library. By using IU's LearnApp, you can, for instance, work through your study materials digitally on a tablet.
