Apprenticeships
Depending on the cooperating company, we offer two study options:
In the training-integrated degree programme, you also complete a commercial apprenticeship in a cooperating company and acquire a commercial qualification in addition to the Bachelor of Engineering degree. The final industrial examination is regularly organised by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
In the practice-integrated degree programme, you will complete extensive practical phases in the cooperating company. However, there is no compulsory vocational schooling here and you are not aiming for a skilled worker qualification. In this variant, a practical semester can also be replaced by distributed practical phases totalling 18 weeks at the partner company.
Both options require a contract with one of our industrial partners.
Possible training occupations if you choose the training-integrated study option:
- Electrical systems fitter,
- Electronics technician for automation technology,
- Electronics technician for operating technology,
- Electronics technician for devices and systems,
- Electronics technicians for information and systems technology,
- IT specialists for application development,
- Mechatronics technicians

Why study electrical engineering and information technology in a combined degree programme?
- 1
-
Direct application of what you have learnt
You can immediately apply the theoretical knowledge you acquire in a practical environment. This gives you a better understanding of the content and allows you to experience the practical aspects of your subject at first hand.
