From the beginning, one of the five profiles must be chosen: Automation Technology, Electrical Power Engineering, Computer Engineering, Micro- and Optoelectronics (focus on either "Devices and Technology" or "Circuitry") or Communications Engineering.

The Master's program deepens the qualifications acquired in the Bachelor's program. It imparts skills for systematic scientific work, in which scientific methods are applied to complex problems, analyzed and further developed. Depending on the specialization, an exemplary focus is placed on one of the application areas.

Admission

Admission requirements

• Completion of the bachelor's degree program in electrical engineering and information technology at the University of Duisburg- Essen, usually with an overall grade of 2.5 or better
• or an at least equivalent degree in a comparable and equivalent course of study of at least three years' duration, as a rule with an average grade of 2.5 or better, weighted with the credits.
• The assessment of equivalence and the decision on exceptions is made by the examination board. This committee may also grant admission subject to conditions.

Admission

Unrestricted admission (study places are not limited). 

Enrollment takes place during the enrollment period at the student registrar's office on Campus Duisburg.

Prospective students from non-EU countries submit their application to the International Office of Campus Duisburg. 

Special enrollment requirements 

None.

Strongly recommended: Preliminary experience (professional internship) of 8 weeks in total or partly prior to the degree program (see also section "Study-related internships").  

Language Skills

The language of instruction at the University of Duisburg-Essen is German (except in the English-language programs). Therefore, you must have good German language skills if you want to study successfully. The majority of foreign applicants must pass the "Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang" (DSH 2 level; with some exceptions) before beginning their studies.

• German nationals (persons who have acquired their higher education entrance qualification in Germany or at a German school abroad) do not require any special proof of German language skills.
• Citizens of an EU member state (and citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) or German citizens with a foreign educational qualification, as well as
• Citizens of a country outside the EU with a foreign university entrance qualification must pass the "Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang" (DSH 2 level) or the TestDaF (TDN 4) before the begin of their studies.

Additional language skills

In the international environment of electrical engineering and information technology, English plays an increasing role as an international technical language. The aim of the program is therefore also to impart a familiarity with the English technical language through the use of the English language in selected courses. Appropriate language skills are therefore expected.

Study stay abroad

Not requiered. However, it is recommended to use the lecture-free period for practical professional activities and/or for a stay abroad.
