KIA is a dual degree program with a Bachelor's degree after four years - with integrated vocational training (including IHK/HWK qualification). It combinestheory and practice very intensively and creates an early bond with the future company.
Our future KIA students apply to acompany cooperating with the university , have the university entrance qualification, have an interest 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 concluding a training contract with the company, you still have to register at the university with your university entrance qualification - this is possible from mid-May.
The degree course usually begins on 01.09. with 4 weeks of practical training in the company. Depending on the degree program, you will then complete one to three semesters 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 vocational knowledge required for the vocational training is taught through the scheduled lectures and additional "vocational specifics" courses at the university. During the practical training period, you will be entitled to the collectively agreed vacation and will receive amonthly salary from the company, which is based on the salary for apprentices .
After completing the vocational training, the remaining semesters are completed as full-time studies with part-time work (often with a study sponsorship agreement 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 Intelligent Networks and Systems.
As a graduate of the Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering, you have a wide range of career prospects and can pursue both a national and an international career. The knowledge and skills you acquire will open up various career paths, ranging from technical positions to senior management roles in small, medium and large companies in a wide range of industries, including the electrical industry, automotive, utilities and more.
