Distance learning is a form of study equivalent to direct study. It consists of

• Basic studies (1st - 4th semester)
• Subject studies (including diploma thesis, 5th - 10th semester)

The educational objective, the course content and the examination requirements for distance learning in the electrical engineering and information technology diploma course correspond to those of direct study of the electrical engineering and information technology course, whereby three main areas can be combined in different ways.

• information and elektronics with automation and mechatronics
• energy and drives with automation and mechatronics

The admission requirement is, like for all other courses, a university entrance qualification (HZB).
