Discover the future of energy and automationStudy Electrical Engineering

Have you ever wondered how we ensure we have enough energy for our everyday lives in a world that is increasingly focussing on e-mobility?

Have you ever immersed yourself in the fascinating world of robotics? Do you know how much automation there is in buildings or what the Internet of Things is all about?

You can explore and answer these and many other fascinating questions in the practical electrical engineering degree programme. With specialisations in energy technology, automation technology and general electrical engineering, we prepare you for a versatile and future-oriented career.

Tackle the issues of the future today

Whether it's efficient heat generation or how robots need to be programmed to do our work for us. As engineers, we are at the forefront of developing sustainable solutions and driving progress. Are you ready to play an active role in shaping the future? Then discover the world of electrical engineering at our university!

Full-time or part-time - the choice is yours

You can study electrical engineering full-time or part-time. When studying full-time, you have the opportunity to choose your individual specialisation from the third semester onwards. In addition to general electrical engineering, you can also focus on automation technology or energy technology. In the part-time programme, you focus on general electrical engineering. We do not charge tuition fees. There is only a semester fee, which includes the NRW-Ticket.

Study Specialisations

This specialisation is an exciting combination of energy technology and automation technology. It is the basis for the changes in factories, cities and the means of transport of the future. You will immerse yourself in the world of electrical power generation, where we explore the sources and technologies that power our electricity supply. From traditional methods to renewable energy, you will explore the many ways in which electricity is generated and how it powers our society. But that's not all, as you'll also explore technologies around machine learning, artificial intelligence and connected devices.

Here you will learn how industrial processes can be automated. Sensors play a role in automation. For example, they record building data and forward it automatically. This makes it possible to control a building's power supply. Modern microelectronics play an important role here and help to drive technology forward.

You are concerned with how electrical energy is produced, transported and distributed. The central question here is how to generate and use electrical energy in a safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly way. The energy transition will increasingly emphasise renewable energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaics and hydropower. You will learn how to generate energy from these sources, how to deal with fluctuations and how to manage consumption safely. It is just as important to expand electricity grids or further develop energy systems.
