Then you’ve come to the right place, because in the Electrical Engineering-Electronics-Information Technology program you can shape the world according to your wishes!
After a broad-based basic degree program, students can specialize in one of seven different fields of study. At the end of your studies, you will have a wide range of in-depth knowledge, from for Automation Technology to Reliable Circuits. In the fields of high frequency technology, sensor technology, energy and drive technology, power electronics, information technology, microelectronics or quantum technologies, no one can fool you.
The aim of the EEI degree program at FAU is to provide an application-oriented and practical engineering education. The Department EEI consists of a total of 15 chairs and thus comprehensively covers both the basic and specialized areas of electrical engineering, electronics and information technology in research and teaching. Due to the good networking with the other departments of the Faculty of Engineering and close contacts with non-university research institutions such as the Fraunhofer and Max Planck Institutes as well as globally active industrial companies and foreign universities, education in a research environment at a top international level is guaranteed.
The standard period of study is six semesters. The number of ETCS points required for successful completion – the organization of studies and examinations is based on the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) – is 180 ECTS points in the Bachelor’s program.
The degree program is divided into modules, which are assessed with ECTS points. A module is a teaching and learning unit that is continuous and self-contained. The modules conclude with a module examination during the course of study. ECTS points are only awarded for successful participation in modules, which is determined on the basis of independent, definable performance in a module examination. The exact examination regulations can be found in the Study and Examination Regulations or the EEI Subject Examination Regulations at: http://www.uni-erlangen.de/universitaet/organisation/recht/studiensatzungen/tech.shtml.
