Bachelor of Science - Electrical Engineering

On the one hand, you will receive professional training as an electronics technician for industrial engineering in the university's training workshop and in technical building management. Electronics technicians for industrial engineering are responsible for all electrical and electronic work. This means that they install and connect electrical equipment, measure and analyze electrical functions and systems, assess the safety of electrical systems and equipment, install and configure IT systems and are responsible for technical order analysis and solution development.

On the other hand, you will acquire knowledge in recognized engineering fundamentals and gain specialist knowledge that plays an increasing role in almost all areas of life and work. Whether it's communication technology or software development, electrical drives, automation or sustainable energy supply - electrical engineers shape people's everyday lives in many sectors. Current issues of resource conservation and clean energy generation are a particular focus in Kassel. The demand for qualified personnel is high and career opportunities are very good.

During the six-semester course, students are taught application-oriented and theoretical specialist knowledge, practical skills and the basics of scientific work. The majority of courses are accompanied by internships in laboratories or independent student teamwork. Personal interests and the enjoyment of working with practical applications are not neglected: for example, working groups focus on the use of microcontrollers, 3D printers or the Hercules Racing Team. From the fifth semester onwards, students focus either on electrical energy systems (mobile or networked), electronics and photonics, information and communication technology or measurement and control technology.

There are interdisciplinary points of contact and smooth transitions during the electrical engineering course, particularly with the subjects of computer science (computer science is part of the same department) and mechatronics. The Bachelor's degree qualifies students for a subsequent four-semester Master's degree.

Constant and direct contact between students and lecturers is practiced at the department. While the theory is taught in the Department of Electrical Engineering/Computer Science at the University of Kassel, the practical phases, in which what has been learned can be put into practice straight away, take place in the university workshops and the Department of Construction, Technology and Real Estate at the University of Kassel.

After successfully completing your studies, you can join our team as an electrical engineer with the appropriate personal and professional aptitude, which is responsible, among other things, for the maintenance and operation of the University of Kassel's diverse portfolio of buildings.
