This course provides students with the expertise and methods they need for an independent professional career in specific fields within electrical engineering.
The Master's degree in Electrical Engineering builds on and extends existing knowledge in the field. You can freely choose and combine modules from the three advanced subjects of general electrical engineering, microelectronics and communication technology, and systems engineering, according to your own interests.
The international master's program Electrical Engineering gives you the opportunity to expand your knowledge acquired during your Bachelor studies in one of the two major fields of study
- Power Engineering (Elektrische Energietechnik) or
- Information Technology (Informationstechnologie).
Both are internationally recognized domains with a steadily growing demand for graduates.
Power Engineering (Elektrische Energietechnik) involves the generation, transmission, conversion and application of electrical energy. Additional to the basics, this field includes the energy production from renewable sources, such as Bioenergy and wind turbines, construction, operation and control of electrical drive systems, and the associated high temperature electronics.
Information Technology (Informationstechnologie) is primarily concerned with the processing and transmission of digital information. It spans from digital signal processing and data transmission over circuit design, embedded and multi-processor systems up to mobile and wireless communication systems.
The international Master's program Electrical Engineering gives you the opportunity to expand your knowledge aquired during your Bachelor studies in one of the two major fields of study:
- Electrical Power Engineering involves generation, transmission, conversion and application of electrical energy.
- Information Technology is primarily concerned with the procession and transmission of digital information.
Students who choose the specialization Power Engineering are recommended to commence their studies in the winter semester. If they choose to commence in the summer semester, they are recommended to consult the departmental study advisor for planning their studies due to the limited options to attend classes.
The mandatory indication of the chosen specialization must be given in written form in the registration for the final examination.
In the first two terms, students select modules in accordance to the selected major field of study. In the third term, the students further focus on their major field of study by selecting a specialization module. The fourth semester is reserved for the master thesis.
Teaching language: It is possible to study the entire course in English. Some lectures are offered in German, but these are additional options. However, there are obligatory classes on the German language.
Specialization Information Technology – Start at winter semester
Specialization Information Technology – Start at summer semester
Specialization Power Engineering – Start at winter semester
Specialization Power Engineering – Start at summer semester
The course is offered in English. It is suitable for English speaking international students. It is also suitable for German-speaking students with very good knowledge of English who pursue an international career and in addition to the acquisition and apply of advanced skills of English language.
The level of expertise and academic qualifications of Master of Science comply with the internationally and in Germany well known degree "Diplomingenieur". The various choices in the areas of specialization offered ensure both the scientific depth as well as the relevance of the study for industrial practice. Successful completion of this course of study entitles you to use the protected professional title of “engineer” in accordance with the Architectural and Engineering Law of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering ensures excellent care because of very good student-professor ratio. Further advantages are the proximity to the library, to student dormitories and to the cafeteria.
Individual part-time studies possible: Students who can only spend about half of the time budget for the study work because of a job or because of family obligations, have the opportunity to apply for the study form Individual part-time studies (Individuelles Teilzeitstudium) twice each for two semesters. Of the two semesters then only one semester will be counted to the standard period of study.
The university master's degree in the field of Electrical Engineering offers the best opportunities to get a conductive or research-based engineering job in Germany and over the world. The rapidly increasing demand for engineers in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and information processing opens up prospects for the future with good job opportunities and excellent career opportunities.
