Electrical Engineering and Information Technology — International Master of Science

After a two-semester programme at the university, the students will attend a six-month internship in industry, which is followed by another six-month Master's thesis that also will be conducted in industry. This set-up ensures a smooth transition into a professional career either in a German company or worldwide. The programme has been designed to offer various chances to apply what has been learned in the lectures during laboratories. Please check our website https://mse.h-da.de for additional details on the course content and structure. Common Modules All students will attend courses in Technical Management and will perform a semester project. The rest of the curriculum depends on the chosen major. Automation Major Automation plays an important role not only in industry but also in our everyday lives, from medical technology to building management. The main foci deal with current issues in control engineering, robotics, factory automation and the Industrial Internet of Things. Identification of dynamic systems, adaptive controls, process visualisation and bus and control technology as well as sensor and actuator technology are analysed and deepened in theory and practice. Communications Major The communications major programme offers in-depth background encompassing state-of-the-art communication techniques and signal processing. In addition, the programme builds the students' practical ability in hardware and software development. Embedded Electronics and Microelectronics Major Embedded systems have tremendously influenced our everyday life over the last decade – ranging from wearables and smartphones to medical devices, the Internet of Things and autonomous transportation. As embedded systems interact with the environment, the design and realisation of hardware solutions also play an important role in this major, which focuses on state-of-the-art microcontrollers and FPGAs, embedded programming, real-time systems and hardware-driven system design. Power Engineering Major We do not know what the car of the future will look like, but it will definitely be electric. Energy technology is setting the course for our future. This area ensures that electrical energy is provided safely, sufficiently, cost-effectively and in an environmentally compatible manner. The courses focus on power generation, renewable energy, power distribution and smart grids as well as on e-mobility, electric drives and control of drive systems. The course consists of two semesters with lectures/labs and German classes as well as two semesters in industry (industrial project and Master's thesis). Semester one: academic theory courses (lectures and labs) Semester two: academic theory courses (lectures and labs) Semester three: industrial internship Semester four: Master's thesis Please check https://mse.h-da.de/program/overview for a detailed course description.
