Bachelor: Electrical Engineering / Elektrotechnik

The "Electrical Engineering / Elektrotechnik" degree programme is aimed at international students who wish to combine a comprehensive electrical engineering education with learning German in order to successfully enter the German labour market after graduation.

A specially adapted curriculum has been developed for this purpose, which combines the teaching of technical fundamentals in English (1^st - 4^th semester) with an intensive German course. By the end of the 4^th semester, students must have reached language level B2 in German. In the subsequent main study programme (5^th - 8^th semester), lessons are then continued in German.

From the 6^th semester onwards, students choose an in-depth specialisation:

Information and
Electronics

Energy and
Drives

Automation and
Mechatronics

Electrical Engineering / Elektrotechnik
Bachelor | 8 Semester(s) | Beginning in the Winter semester

Electrical Engineering - Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)
Does the long tradition and ingenuity of German engineering fascinate you? Are you interested in the operating principles of electrical systems? How about studying Electrical Engineering and learning German at the same time? Our study programme Electrical Engineering is just what you are looking for! It is specifically designed for international students and offers a unique curriculum that combines a sound education in Electrical Engineering with the acquisition of German language skills. The first four semesters of part-time study are predominantly in English with additional German language training. The following semesters take place in full-time study in German.

More Details

details

The Electrical Engineering degree programme is a practice-oriented engineering degree programme. Thanks to a specially tailored core curriculum, it is also suitable for students who do not have the language requirements for a German-language degree programme at the start of their studies.

The degree programme is basically derived from the German-language Bachelor's degree programme "Electrical Engineering and Information Technology", whereby the first semesters have been modified to form a "study adapter" in which the technical content of the first two semesters is stretched over four semesters. This makes it possible to use the workload freed up for intensive study of the German language. In the first two semesters, the courses are held entirely in English, while in the third and fourth semesters the language is partly shifted to German. From the fifth semester (main study programme), the course language is almost entirely German.

During the programme, students acquire knowledge in a wide range of disciplines required for Electrical Engineering, e.g. Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Materials Engineering, Mathematics, Engineering Physics, Electronics, Electronics Design and Technology, Systems Theory/Control Theory, Measurement Technology, Digital Circuits, Industrial Controls, Power Electronics, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Fundamentals of Microprocessors, Signals and Systems, Electrical Actuators, Test and Verification, Electrical Power Supply, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Electronic Packaging and Microsystems, and Business Management/Engineering Law. In addition, several compulsory elective modules on various specialisation areas of Electrical Engineering must be selected in the main study programme.

The modules are method-orientated. The modules teach skills in the application of analysis, design, dimensioning, calculation, measurement and testing methods. Numerous product-orientated modules are aimed in particular at the necessary breadth and applicability of the training.

Application

International applicants must apply via uni assist.
It is recommended to start the application process as early as 15 April in order to be able to submit missing documents.
General information on starting your studies at HTW Dresden can be found here.

Requirements

English language skills are at least at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). We accept the following examinations, among others:

• TOEFL Internet-based (iBT) with at least 80 points
• IELTS (International English Language Testing System) at least at band 6.0
• Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC)
• Cambridge English (ESOL)

Costs

As for any other degree programme, the current semester fee is charged for this international Bachelor's degree programme. This includes a semester ticket for local public transport.

A German course is organised and paid for individually by the student - this is NOT included in the semester fee.
