With the Diploma in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, the TU Ilmenau offers from WS 17/18 a consistent major with the degree Diploma in Engineering The demanding study starts in the 1st -3rd. semester with an interdisciplinary, integrative and practice-oriented basic education. Building on this, students in the 4th and 5th semester will acquire solid, advanced knowledge in all core areas of electrical engineering and information technology. Within the 5th semester, the individual choice of a mentor takes place in preparation for the subsequent specialisation.
From the 6th semester on, there is a professional and increasingly research-oriented specialisation in a main subject to be chosen with a corresponding later deepening. Offered main subjects are:
In addition, there is the possibility to complete a free study of the diploma program EIT (free main subject) from the 6th semester. The minor subject (other than the main subject, also possible outside the subject) supplements the content-related emphasis in the main subject according to the profile-related objective of the students. The deepening of the main subject in the 9th semester is strongly research-oriented and serves as preparation for the completion of the diploma thesis in the 10th semester. On the website of the major you will find more information about current projects.
Mentor principle
Each student has a mentor from among the faculty's university professors who provide advice to him / her. The connection to a faculty of the EI faculty over the choice promotes not only the professional profiling of the students but also social skills such as team and communication skills.
Mobility window
Minor subject, the professional internship with seminar work as well as the specialisation can be provided at the request of the student and in consultation with the mentor also at foreign institutions.

The basic internship is an academic achievement with a duration of six weeks. It should be fulfilled preferably before the start of studies, but can also be completed before the end of the fourth semester. The professional internship during the eigth semester takes 20 weeks and can be completed in companies at home as well as abroad. It is accompanied by a seminar work.
