Description/content The Master of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology programme focuses on teaching
students the skills to handle the complex challenges of design and development that electrical
engineers are facing today.

Our students can choose between two areas of focus:

Electronic and Telecommunication Systems

This focus area includes courses such as selected topics in Micro- and Nanotechnology,
Optoelectronics and Laser Technology, and Signals and Systems in Communication Technology.

Automation

This focus area includes courses such as Advanced Modelling and Simulation, Contactless Sensor
Technology, and Automotive and Industrial Drive Systems.

2
 Whatever the area of focus, students will gain both advanced theoretical expertise and application-
oriented training from the first semester onward.

Our 20+ in-house laboratories, our additional tech campuses, our partnerships with private
industries, and our involvement in a variety of research projects gives our students ample
opportunities and choices to work with the real and current challenges affecting modern
development in the field of electrical engineering and IT, particularly in high-tech sectors.

Our staff of dedicated professors emphasise applied know-how by offering plenty of constructively
supervised class projects in which students are invited to tinker, imagine, collaborate, and learn
from failure in order to help bring their ideas to life. Thinking outside the box is encouraged.

In addition to the curriculum, the programme has introduced a seminar series tailored to the fact
that most of our graduates start their careers in Germany. The aim is to prepare students for the
challenges ahead and helps them avoid the pitfalls they may encounter on their way to success.
Topics include intercultural training, writing a thesis in collaboration with a company, working life
in Germany, how to apply to German companies, and what to expect in a German job interview.

View the campuses

Deggendorf Campus:

The Deggendorf campus is our largest campus, and it has recently undergone a vast extension to accommodate the expanding university
community. It has a modern, central courtyard with a hovering deck over water where staff and students relax while having lunch,
socialising, revising or just lounging. All lecture rooms, science labs, facilities and service centres are based on and around campus,
creating an excellent studying environment.

The beautiful town of Deggendorf has a population of 40,000 and is located on the banks of the Danube river at the foot of the Bavarian
Forest. Munich International Airport is one hour’s drive away and can easily be accessed by public transport. Our students enjoy vibrant
social lives, as Deggendorf has plenty to offer: restaurants, cafés and pubs, plus many cultural festivals and events. It has an excellent
network of bike trails, leisure cruise ships on the river and a surrounding hilly landscape that provides a stunning natural backdrop to enjoy
countless recreational activities.

Newly built, self-contained student apartment blocks are within close walking or biking proximity to campus, the town centre and all local
amenities.

European Campus Rottal-Inn:

At the European Rottal-Inn campus, all Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes are conducted exclusively in English, creating a
dynamic study environment with a diverse and international student community.

The campus is nestled in the town of Pfarrkirchen among rolling, picturesque hills between the Danube and Inn rivers, close to the Austrian
border. Pfarrkirchen has become culturally renowned in the area due to its exceptional art exhibitions, museum nights, festivals and
events throughout the year. In summer, the old town festival tempts thousands of visitors with its multicultural culinary and musical
events. All year round, students enjoy the relaxed Bavarian atmosphere in local cafés, restaurants and markets in the traditional town
square. The surrounding beautiful Rott Valley has a range of appealing leisure activities, being well-known for its spas, golf courses,
equestrian sports and extensive bike network.

Cham campus:

The Cham campus is our newest and most compact campus, with almost 350 students, 75% being international students. Its Master's
programmes are taught completely in English, and students benefit from intensive personal supervision in small study groups. The campus
has a close relationship with regional and national companies in the field of mechatronics, so students learn in both an applied and
scientific way.

Only a ten-minute walk from the town centre of Cham, the campus offers a unique atmosphere. Situated directly on the Regen River,
students complete their studies in a relaxed and scenic country environment.

There are plenty of leisure facilities within walking distance of the campus: a leisure park with various sports facilities, a swimming pool
with access to the river, a cinema, a climbing hall, shops and restaurants. It’s a great place to live and study!
