Infotronic Systems Engineering, BSc

Your future? Fully connected.

Technical systems that intelligently connect hardware and software are everywhere – in our cars, smart homes and across industry. To develop these systems sustainably, we need people like you: tech enthusiasts who can design, programme, improve and maintain them.

After graduation, you’ll be ready for careers in development, automation, project management, consulting or innovation – across industries and around the world.

During the first four semesters, you’ll build a solid foundation in electrical engineering, physics, computer science and mathematics. You’ll learn how to work scientifically, analyse problems systematically and develop creative technical solutions – giving you the ideal foundation for the rest of your studies.

From the fourth semester onwards, you can choose your own areas of specialisation, such as artificial intelligence, information security, drone technology or business. This allows you to shape your studies around your interests, skills and career goals.

As part of an interdisciplinary project, you’ll work independently on a practical topic and gain valuable experience collaborating with students from other degree programmes in the faculty. In the sixth semester, the choice is yours: spend a semester abroad or complete an internship semester. Either option will strengthen your individual profile and give you new perspectives.

To complete your degree, you’ll write your Bachelor’s thesis and present your work in a final presentation. This will prepare you for starting your career in industry or continuing your studies with a Master’s degree.

Yes. In the sixth semester, you can choose between an internship semester and a semester abroad. During the internship semester, you’ll apply what you’ve learnt directly in a company and experience how technical systems work in practice. You’ll also make valuable industry contacts and gain realistic insights into your future career.

A semester abroad gives you the opportunity to broaden your horizons, improve your English and gain further international experience. It helps you grow personally, develop your intercultural skills and strengthen your profile for the job market.

Both options allow you to pursue your own interests, gain valuable experience and enhance your future career prospects.

The entire degree programme is taught in English. But don’t worry – you don’t need to be a native speaker. A solid level of school English is usually enough. Technical terms are explained, and you’ll quickly get used to studying in English. After the first few weeks, it will start to feel natural, and you’ll become increasingly confident in international settings. If you’d like some extra support, you can also take language courses at the university to further improve your English.

The best part is that you’ll improve your language skills naturally along the way – in lectures and practical sessions, while working on projects and through everyday interaction with your international fellow students. By the time you graduate, you’ll not only have strong technical expertise, but also the language skills you need for the global job market – an advantage that many employers really value.
