Study Electrical EngineeringDiscover the future of energy and automation

Have you ever wondered how we can ensure enough energy for our everyday lives in a sustainable way in a world that is increasingly relying on e-mobility?
Have you ever delved into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence (AI)? Do you know how much automation there is in buildings or what smart grids and the Internet of Things (IoT) are all about?
You can explore and answer these and many other fascinating questions in the practical study of electrical engineering. With a focus on energy technology, automation technology and general electrical engineering, we prepare you for a versatile and future-oriented career.

Note: The programme has been further developed and is currently undergoing accreditation. The final decision of the Accreditation Council on the further developments is still pending. Changes are therefore subject to change.

We do not have a minimum grade requirement for bachelor's programmes, nor do we charge tuition fees. We only charge a semester fee, which includes the Deutschland-Ticket for public transport.

You can find all the information you need about enrolment and deadlines here.

Uncomplicated entry into engineering studies

In the Electrical Engineering programme, we offer you an introductory phase that makes the transition from school or vocational training to university easier. We start with the knowledge you have acquired at school and then deepen your understanding of the subject matter in the following semesters. And to maintain a balance between theory and practice, our internships are evenly distributed throughout the entire programme. Like all our bachelor's programmes, our Electrical Engineering programme has no minimum grade requirement.

Tackle the issues of the future today Electromobility, renewable energies, Industry 4.0

Whether it's efficient heat generation or how robots need to be programmed to do our work for us. As engineers, we are at the forefront of developing sustainable solutions and driving progress. Are you ready to play an active role in shaping the future? Then discover the world of electrical engineering at our university!

Focus on artificial intelligence and sustainability

The programme places particular emphasis on sustainability and AI: in addition to conventional forms of energy generation, you can also explore renewable sources. You will learn more about electrical energy networks and the challenges they face in the energy transition. Or you can focus on machine learning and work with AI. Just like the IT industry, electrical engineering is currently undergoing many changes as a result of artificial intelligence, which we address in the programme.

Full-time or part-time or work&study - the choice is yours

You can study electrical engineering full-time or part-time. When studying full-time, you have the opportunity to choose your individual specialisation from the third semester onwards. In addition to general electrical engineering, you can also focus on automation technology or energy technology. In the part-time programme, you focus on general electrical engineering. With work&study, you study for eight semesters and work in a company.

We do not charge tuition fees. There is only a semester fee, which includes the NRW-Ticket.

You can find all information about the enrolment and dates here.

Study Specialisations

This specialisation is an exciting combination of energy technology and automation technology. It is the basis for the changes in factories, cities and the means of transport of the future. You will immerse yourself in the world of electrical power generation, where we explore the sources and technologies that power our electricity supply. From traditional methods to renewable energy, you will explore the many ways in which electricity is generated and how it powers our society. But that's not all, as you'll also explore technologies around machine learning, artificial intelligence and connected devices.

Here you will learn how industrial processes can be automated. Sensors play a role in automation. For example, they record building data and forward it automatically. This makes it possible to control a building's power supply. Modern microelectronics play an important role here and help to drive technology forward.

You are concerned with how electrical energy is produced, transported and distributed. The central question here is how to generate and use electrical energy in a safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly way. The energy transition will increasingly emphasise renewable energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaics and hydropower. You will learn how to generate energy from these sources, how to deal with fluctuations and how to manage consumption safely. It is just as important to expand electricity grids or further develop energy systems.
