Educational organisation

The Master's programme in Electrical Engineering comprises three theoretical semesters and ends with the Master's thesis.
For all courses, ECTS Credit Points (European Credit Transfer System) are awarded.
After they have successfully completed the programme and the Master's thesis, students will be awarded the academic degree Master of Science (MSc), which is documented with a report and a certificate. The MSc degree formally entitles students to enter PhD/Dr-Ing programmes.
The Master's programme is fully accredited by ASIIN (accreditation agency specialised in accrediting degree programmes from the fields of engineering, informatics/computer science, the natural sciences and mathematics: http://www.asiin.de).
