The Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering aims to give you a broad understanding of electrical systems, technologies and applications, with a focus on the specializations mechatronics, automation technology/Industry 4.0 and smart grids and installations.
Our degree program not only offers you in-depth specialist knowledge and practical experience, but also the opportunity to give free rein to your creativity and develop solutions for the challenges of our time. Ready for the future? Then you've come to the right place! Be part of a generation that not only uses technology, but shapes it.
KIA is a dual course of study leading to a Bachelor's degree after four years - with integrated vocational training (including IHK/HWK qualification). It combines theory and practice very intensively and creates an early bond with the future company.
Our future KIA students apply to a company cooperating with the university, have the university entrance qualification, are interested in scientific problems and have the necessary mobility.
The companies conclude a cooperation agreement with the university and contracts with the applicants for practical vocational training (vocational training contract or internship contract).
After a degree apprenticeship contract has been concluded with the company, you still have to register at the university with your university entrance qualification - this is possible from mid-May.
The course usually begins on September 1st with 4 weeks of practical training at the company. Depending on the degree course, you will then complete one to three semesters of study at the university.
The study-free periods between the semesters are reserved for practical training in the company. The training in the company takes place during the basic studies according to the study schedule (e.g. in a 4-week rotation between the company and the university) and ends with the examination before the responsible chamber (IHK or HWK). Separate vocational school lessons are not provided. The theoretical knowledge required for the vocational training is taught through the scheduled lectures and additional "vocational specifics" teaching units at the university. During the practical training period, you will be entitled to collectively agreed leave and will receive a monthly salary from the company, which is based on the salary for apprentices.
After completing your vocational training, the remaining semesters are completed as full-time studies with part-time work (often with a study support contract from your company) and end with the desired Bachelor of Engineering degree. Building on the introductory semesters, the specialist studies begin, in which further specialization is made possible.
The following specializations are available: mechatronics, automation technology/Industry 4.0 and smart grids and installations.
We currently have the following vacancies for apprenticeships as an electronics technician for industrial engineering in conjunction with this Bachelor's degree program in electrical engineering:
