Everydays' applications like the internet, mobile telephones and navigation systems run on high-complex technical systems. We use these systems as a matter of course, but who is behind their advancement or even new invention?  One of the most essential areas for these systems is the electrical engineering, and in particular, information technology (IT), which is the cornerstone for modern development.

Develop intelligent machines and systems!

Increase the quality in production!

Our study program provides you a hands-on education that includes a deep understanding of technical systems and will best prepare you to start your career as an engineer. You will acquire a solid basic knowledge and specialised knowledge in your field.  Our program is tailored to meet the complexity of modern technical systems, for example, our students acquire the relevant multidisciplinary expertise through interdisciplinary projects.

As a graduate of the degree program Electrical Engineering/Information Technology, you have the option of continuing your studies with the consecutive master's courses in Embedded Systems and Mechatronic System Development, or in the master's degree program Information System or by joining the cooperative doctoral research group "Design and Architecture of Embedded Systems", that is offered in cooperation between Pforzheim University and the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen.

The career prospects for graduates of this program are extraordinarily good. The increasing application of electronic systems beyond the electrical and the IT-industry,  for example in the automobile industry and the engineering sector, ensures that more jobs are created by manufacturers and suppliers. The opportunities for graduates of this program are not only restricted to the conventional careers like product development, they can also work in manufacturing and quality management, in the technical sale and services such as maintenance or even in project development.

First practical experiences with electronics is of advantage, but not a must. Rather necessary is your interest in the areas of mathematics, computer science, natural science and technology. Most important is your will and determination to accept technical challenges and to pursue your goals consistently. If you are curious about working with technical systems, and you are creative, then you will have fun as an engineer.
