Brief description

Electrical engineering and information technology can be found in almost all areas of our lives and form the basis of modern society. They are the key to efficient mobility, provide access to information of all kinds and are indispensable for a sustainable energy supply with renewable energies. In the "all-electric society", the importance of electrical engineering and information technology will continue to grow. Electromobility, the energy transition and Industry 4.0 are current examples of this development.

With a Master's degree, students can actively shape this development by working with methods, systems and components of electrical engineering and information technology and researching and developing new technologies in this field. Graduates play a key role in the technological development of our society and in actively addressing future issues.

The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is a scientifically oriented degree program that offers an internationally competitive, research-oriented education. It builds on a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology or another, content-related first degree in engineering. Thanks to a curriculum with extensive elective options, the Master's offers the advantage of an individual and future-oriented specialization. Suggested specializations help with the choice of modules.

Application with foreign certificates

Why Ilmenau?

The Master's degree course offers the opportunity to choose modules individually, the catalog of which is constantly adapted to current technological and social developments, a strong practical focus through involvement in current research projects and close contact with other research institutions on campus.

A special feature of the degree course is the option to choose a specialization, such as Artificial Intelligence or Quantum Engineering, which can be shown on the certificate.

My studies. My Story: Electrical Engineering at the TU Ilmenau

Through Ilmenau with Janine and Marcel

Janine and Marcel take you on an exciting tour of the campus of the TU Ilmenau and through Ilmenau itself. They describe how they live and study in Ilmenau, give numerous leisure tips and insights into the place of study of the TU Ilmenau and take you to hidden places in the city.

Detailed subject overview: Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (Master)

Within the scope of the elective area "Electrical Engineering and Information Technology", various specialisations are offered. The modules of the elective catalogue are partly assigned to these specialisations. Students are free to choose whether and which specialisation they want to take.

Provided that modules amounting to at least 30 LP from a specialisation are taken and the Master's thesis can be thematically assigned to the specialisation, the specialisation can be shown on the certificate of study if desired.
