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 electrical engineer in the energy industry, technical project manager, or development engineer for electronic products.

In order to be admitted to the private Bachelor's programme in Electrical Engineering at IU International University, you must either have a secondary school leaving certificate (Abitur), an advanced technical college certificate (Fachabitur), or a subject-related university entrance qualification.

In addition, you can also study Electrical Engineering without a secondary school leaving certificate. To be admitted to the IU programme without a secondary school leaving certificate, you must have completed an advanced training course, such as becoming a certified business economist, or hold a master craftsman's diploma. You can also be admitted if you have completed vocational training and have worked full-time for at least 3 years after completing this training.

These are the study contents in the Electrical Engineering programme

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

The typical course schedule for the full-time study in Electrical Engineering looks as follows:

• 1st Semester: Linear Electrical Engineering, Basics of Physics, Electrical Measurement Technology, Signals & Systems, Introduction to Academic Work for IT & Technology, (Project) Programming with C/C++
• 2nd Semester: Mathematics: Linear Algebra, Electric Fields and AC Technology, Sensors, Mathematics: Analysis, Basics of Electronics: Semiconductor Physics, Collaborative Work
• 3rd Semester: Electrical Machines and Energy Technology, Control Engineering, Digital and Information Technology, Numerics, Laplace and Fourier Transformation, Basics of Electronics: Electronic Circuit Elements, Circuit Simulation
• 4th Semester: Seminar: Current Topics in Electronics, Electrostatic Fields, Project: Microcontroller and Logic Circuits, Introduction to Programming with Python, Transistors and Transistor Circuits, Project: Implementation of Circuits
• 5th Semester: Magnetic Fields, Embedded Systems, Operational Amplifiers and OPV Circuit, Elective Area A, Electromagnetic Waves
• 6th Semester: Elective Area B, Elective Area C, Bachelor Thesis

What sets the Bachelor's programme in Electrical Engineering at IU apart is the many possibilities in the elective area to deepen your knowledge in areas of your own interest and professional fields.

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

Lastly, for the third specialization, you can choose one of these study modules: All modules from Elective Areas A and B, Python for Software Engineering, Applied Sales, Mastering Prompts, Career Development, General Studies.

How the myStudies Electrical Engineering programme at IU works

The myStudies at IU International University is a flexible hybrid programme that combines traditional campus life with self-study phases at home.

Accompanying events take place on campus 2-3 days a week. Alternatively, those who wish can follow the events through the IU's Virtual Campus.

Through the online portal and the Learn App of IU, students have access to study materials, presentations, and videos for the modules in Electrical Engineering at any time.

The semester is divided into 2 parts, so you take 3 modules per quarter and complete an exam preparation phase. The modules in the field of Electrical Engineering conclude, for example, with an exam or a term paper.

Private study locations for Electrical Engineering

With 25 study locations throughout Germany, IU International University is represented throughout Germany for courses in all disciplines.

The hybrid Electrical Engineering programme is currently offered by the university in Düsseldorf and Cologne.

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

Studying Electrical Engineering at the IU Virtual Campus

If there is no IU campus near you or you prefer to learn flexibly and digitally, you can also enroll at the so-called IU Virtual Campus.

At the Virtual Campus, you can, for example, attend your accompanying events in Electrical Engineering through regular video conferences together with your fellow students and professors.

Through the IU's learning platform myCampus, you have access to study scripts and the virtual library. With the Learn App of IU, you can also work through your scripts digitally on a tablet.
