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

Practical phase with an industry partner (3., 6. Semester) Thesis & practice

The WEITiP Bachelor's degree programme is offered in two different versions in cooperation with regional companies. The two practical phases, which regularly take place in the 3rd and 6th semesters, are an essential part of this degree programme. There are two study options:

Training-integrated degree programme: In this variant, students also complete a commercial apprenticeship in a cooperating company and acquire a commercial qualification in addition to the academic Bachelor of Engineering degree. The final industrial examination is regularly organised by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK).
Practice-integrated degree programme: In this option, students also complete extensive practical phases in a cooperating company. However, there is no compulsory vocational schooling here and the aim is not to obtain a skilled worker qualification. In this variant, one of the two prescribed practical semesters can also be replaced by distributed practical phases totalling 18 weeks in the cooperation company.

Practical phase, Bachelor's thesis and colloquium (9. Semester) 25 ECTS Thesis & practice

The practical project comprises a total of at least ten weeks of practical engineering work, which can be carried out either within or outside the university. The regular weekly working time in the practical project corresponds to that of a full-time position and lasts at least ten weeks.

The practical project precedes the Bachelor's thesis and can serve as preparation for it, so that detailed preparation for the demanding Bachelor's thesis is possible.

Why study Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in a combined degree programme?

1: Optimum combination of theory and practice as well as technology and business

You will put the knowledge you acquire in the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology degree programme into practice directly in the company, giving you a first-hand understanding of technical and economic interrelationships.
2: Best career opportunities

Thanks to your practical experience, you will be in high demand after graduation and have very good prospects of being taken on directly by your partner company.
3: Double qualification

You will benefit from a sound education in technology and business and at the same time gain valuable professional experience in the company - ideal for future management tasks. If you choose the training-integrated study option, you will earn a Bachelor of Engineering degree as well as an IHK vocational qualification.
4: Strong professional network

During your studies, you will make contacts in the industry and build up a network that will open important doors for you when you start your career.
5: Financial advantages

During the practical phases, you will receive remuneration from your company and can therefore already be financially independent during your studies.
