You already know and use smart phones, e-scooters, and computers. Electrical engineering and information technology are central to all of them. But the field is also important for the energy transition, robotics, artificial intelligence, and other topics that will take us into the future. In our degree programme, you can learn how to build and develop innovations.

If you are interested in technology and want to actively shape our future, then you are in the right place in this programme.

During your studies, you will learn how to develop and program electronic devices. The combination of hardware and software is the cornerstone of this degree programme. You can have the opportunity to build racing cars or robots, including at international competition level, in our project teams “StrOHM+Söhne” and “AutonOHM”. Discover the fascinating world of electrical engineering and information technology at the Ohm, where technology and innovation come together to shape the future. We look forward to you joining us!
