Study contents

The Information and Communication Engineering Master's Programme offers a modern and comprehensive education based on sound, high-quality and sustainable knowledge in information and communication technology. You will gain in-depth insights into information and signal processing, study network technologies and network security, deal with the development and optimization of telecommunications systems and explore the latest technologies in high-frequency engineering and optical communication. Our flexible module structure allows you to learn both the fundamental methods of information processing in modern telecommunications systems and to explore their diverse fields of application in various areas of electrical engineering. With this knowledge, you will be ideally prepared to take on a decisive role in research or industry and actively shape the networked world of tomorrow.

Have you ever wondered how we stay connected in today's digital world? Are you interested in the technology behind smartphones and the internet? Would you like to make these connections faster, more reliable, more environmentally friendly and more secure? Are you curious about how we can protect our information while enjoying the benefits of modern technology? Have you thought about how machine learning can help us understand and improve communication systems? If these questions fascinate you and you have completed a relevant Bachelor's degree, the Information and Communication Engineering Master's Programme is right for you.

Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.

Admission with other degrees is possible after individual examination, if necessary, and additional examinations may be prescribed.

The laboratory exercises and practical courses of the Master's Programme are equipped with high-quality and modern equipment and have sufficient space. The courses of the Master's Programme are not overcrowded. There are enough free places in all courses and sufficient support staff to take care of your individual needs.

You will immerse yourself in exciting topics such as developing and optimizing the next generation of mobile networks, using and analyzing huge amounts of data from billions of networked devices and sensors, and ensuring the environmental sustainability and security of our communication technologies. You will shape the future of our networked society!

  • Transmission links, e.g. in fiber optic technology
  • Mobile communications antennas
  • Traffic telematics
  • Digital filtering by a signal processor
  • Switching system for emergency services

Mobile communications, the Internet and the fixed network are growing together and are networked by global fiber-optic systems. For the ever-increasing demands on bandwidth and availability, we will have to use the existing frequency resources in cables and in radio much more efficiently. Additional frequency ranges are being opened up for completely new transmission methods, such as ultra-wideband radio systems. The transfer of multimedia data will require significantly higher data transmission rates in the future, and security in communications networks will demand new concepts.

The program does not require a mandatory internship. The lecturers provide support in arranging stays abroad, which can usually be smoothly integrated into the Master's Programme.
