study content

*The curriculum consists of compulsory and Elective modules in three pollution directions: Control Engineering (regulation technology), computer engineering (technical computer science) and communications engineering (communication technology). In addition, there is the possibility to choose the practical and research-oriented common modules (common or no specialization) that bundle the synergies of all pollution directions.

The second semester mainly includes Elective modules and serves the professional specialization of students.

The compulsory modules "Interdisciplinary IoT Project with Scientific Methods" and "Case Study in Control, Computer and Communications Engineering with Project Management" are organized in the "Problem based learning" (PBL) form. In these modules, students work together in interdisciplinary and intercultural groups. The groups work on a current research task from the field of IoT, Industry 4.0, smart systems, smart grids, electromobility, supplemented by accompanying seminar-like teaching, supported by teaching staff from the THM. On the one hand, these modules aim to convey the interdisciplinary character of current and future tasks in electrical engineering and information technology and, on the other hand, to balance subject-specific knowledge and to strengthen the respectful cooperation of the students.

Study programme: Control Engineering

Study objectives

The Control Engineering specialization provides in-depth coverage of key areas of control engineering. These include Further control methods for electrical drives and power electronic converters, modeling and simulation of electrical systems and drives, and the control of renewable energies and smart grids.

Based on the interdisciplinary and joint modules of the CCCE programme, students in the Control Engineering specialization modules acquire special skills for solving current application- and research-oriented tasks in the aforementioned areas.

The focus of the programme is on the high practical relevance, which is made possible by an initial interdisciplinary project for students from all specializations, a research-based second project related to the respective specialization, and an optional internship in cooperation with an industrial partner.

Task fields

Graduates of the CCCE programme with a specialization in Control Engineering find a wide range of positions in industry and research thanks to their in-depth knowledge of control engineering. Our graduates typically work in industrial companies in the control engineering, automotive, automation technology, and renewable energy sectors.

The courses are listed below. There are 90 in total credit points to acquire.

The detailed study programme can be found in the module manual.

With the approval, applicants also receive the information which of the two compulsory modules offered "English in A Professional Environment (EPE) or German as a Foreign Language (GF)". This is also decided by the admission commission on the basis of the prior knowledge of the applicants.

Study programme: Communications Engineering

Study objectives

The Communications Engineering specialization focuses on communications technology. The focus is on theoretical and systemic aspects of a communications system, such as security aspects, signal processing strategies, and information transmission (both wired and wireless).

Graduates of this specialization are able to independently tackle complex tasks in the field of communications technology and develop corresponding products. They have acquired in-depth knowledge of engineering methodology and can formulate, model, simulate, and implement concrete solutions.
The focus of the programme is on the high practical relevance, which is made possible by an initial interdisciplinary project for students from all specializations, a research-based second project related to the respective specialization, and an optional internship in cooperation with an industrial partner.

Based on the latest research, graduates can apply their specialist and methodological knowledge in a targeted manner to engineering practice. They are able to assume responsibility for the implementation and coordination of large-scale projects, particularly in interdisciplinary teams.

Task fields

Graduates will have career opportunities in development, production planning, manufacturing, and technical consulting at information and communications technology companies, telecommunications service providers, and manufacturers of electronic components focused on communications, IoT, and systems. Further opportunities will open up in research institutions.

Study programme: Without specialization

Study objectives

The Master's programme in Control, Computer and Communications Engineering at THM provides students with in-depth theoretical and practice-oriented knowledge in control engineering, computer engineering, and communications technology—even without a specific specialization. The goal is to enable students to develop safety-critical, networked, and intelligent electrical systems by systematically integrating methods and concepts at the interfaces between the programme's specializations. Working in international and intercultural teams on current research and development projects, particularly in the areas of IoT, Industry 4.0, smart systems, smart grids, and electromobility, strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration. The programme prepares students for a career in engineering in an international environment and for a potential doctorate, and teaches the necessary scientific concepts, methods, and techniques for developing innovative products and services in an interdisciplinary context.

Fields of activity without in-depth study

Choosing the degree programme without specialization allows students to combine synergies from control engineering, computer engineering, and communications technology according to their own preferences, resulting in a particularly broad and flexible qualification that opens up a wide range of career opportunities for graduates in science and industry. Graduates are thus able to develop and integrate complex systems, participate in interdisciplinary research projects at the interface of hardware and software, assume management and coordination tasks in international teams, and analyze, plan, and optimize technical systems in electrical engineering and information technology companies. Furthermore, they are qualified for the development of new technologies and services in the context of digitalization and networked systems, and the international focus of the degree programme makes them particularly attractive to globally operating companies.

perspectives

The course enables graduates to work in a narrowly specialized area of ​​electrical engineering, information technology or computer science as well as in promising interdisciplinary areas such as electromobility, smart grids, industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things. This orientation, combined with increased intercultural skills, serves to position the graduates excellently both on the national and international job market.
