MSc Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik) at Clausthal University of Technology

Programme overview

Consecutive Master of Science programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, taught in German over four semesters. It trains engineers to research and develop sustainable solutions for the digitalised industry, building on the research field Open Cyber-Physical Systems and Simulation. Graduates are prepared for further doctoral study.

Faculty: Faculty of Mathematics/Informatics and Mechanical Engineering | Department: Institut für Elektrische Informationstechnik | Duration: 4 semesters | Intake: Winter semester recommended; summer semester also possible (admission rules allow both) | Study mode: full-time; German-taught | Location: Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Niedersachsen, Germany

What you will study

Mathematical and scientific foundations (numerical mathematics), advanced engineering foundations (electronics, high-frequency engineering, communications engineering, control, automation, semiconductor systems) and engineering applications (software systems engineering, robotics and autonomous systems, microtechnology and sensing, laboratories and seminars). Elective modules allow individual focus; the final two semesters include a research practice module and the Master's thesis.

Career pathways

Roles in the digitalised industry covering automation, telecommunications, microelectronics, electromobility and industrial IoT; also further research and doctoral study.

Entry requirements

Required first degree: a Bachelor's degree or equivalent (from a German or Bologna-area university, or an equivalent foreign degree recognised via anabin). Bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering and Information Technology are accepted without conditions. Other degrees can be admitted if the prior study is technically suitable, shown by at least 90 credits (LP) across mathematics/natural-science foundations, engineering foundations, engineering methods and specialised technical areas; conditions (Auflagen) of up to 30 LP may be imposed. Language: German at least DSH 2 / TDN 4 (about B2/C1). Provisional admission is possible before the Bachelor's is complete with at least 150 ECTS (180-ECTS degree), 180 ECTS (210-ECTS degree) or 210 ECTS (240-ECTS degree) if completion is expected in the first semester. Application online via the TU Clausthal portal with documents sent by post. Deadlines (general AZO-M, programmes without restriction): winter semester 1 Oct (German-educated applicants) or 15 Jul (international-educated applicants); summer semester 1 Apr or 15 Jan respectively. Admission procedure under AZO-M section 3(1).
