Electrical Engineering and Electric Mobility (M. Eng.)

Application
Students of Electrical Engineering and Electric Mobility may begin their course in the summer or winter semester.

Registration dates
Applications for this degree may be submitted through the online application system from 2 May to 15 July (for the winter semester) and from 15 November to 15 Feb. (for the summer semester).

Prerequisites
Bachelor’s degree with at least 210 ECTS credit points in the field of electrical engineering, IT, mechatronics, a related subject or an equivalent qualification, acquired either in Germany or abroad. As a general rule, a minimum duration of three and a half years or seven semesters is required in cases where applicants hold a bachelor’s degree that is not based on the ECTS credit point system. A decision is made each semester as to whether admission limitations apply and what these are. The grade average or waiting period required to gain a place is not stipulated in advance but will depend on the number of applications and capacity available.

Although the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering of Mobile Systems is adapted to the needs of the automotive industry, graduates have a broad field of work in the area of electromobility from electric railway technology to electrically assisted driving in bicycles, motorbikes and electromobility in medical technology to the mobile devices of the "consumer" industry. For years, the number of employees in these areas of electrical engineering has been increasing significantly and steadily. However, the methods learned can also be excellently applied to portable devices, such as laptops, mobile phones and battery-powered machine tools, etc., thus considerably expanding the graduates' areas of application. Engineers with this knowledge are not only needed in product development, but also increasingly in manufacturing and testing. In Bavaria in the automotive industry, the demand for engineers with the training profile described is particularly pronounced in the cities of Munich and Ingolstadt due to the large presence of car manufacturers and the numerous suppliers.

The job profile of graduates is characterised by tasks in the areas of research, pre-development and development with a wide range of applications from the automotive industry to electromobility in the medical sector and mobile devices in the "consumer" industry.

The degree programme achieves a close interlocking of theory and practice through the large presence of automotive industrial companies in the region. In order to optimally prepare the students for the diverse tasks in industry and in the scientific field, the focus of the education is on the modelling and simulation of technical systems of electromobility.

The dual Master's programme at THI offers optimal career opportunities. In addition to the regular degree programme, the dual Master's programme includes intensive work experience in a company. It is consecutive and is aimed at both non-dual and dual Bachelor graduates who have previously completed a combined degree programme or a degree programme with in-depth practical experience.

During the dual Master's programme, you will receive a salary from your company. The salary for Master's degree programmes should be appropriately higher than the salary for Bachelor's degree programmes.

Special feature: Normal duration of study with significantly more practical experience than in a regular Master's programme
