Welcome to the postgraduate course in Control, Computer and Communications Engineering. To read about this course in English, please change the language at the top right of the screen.
The Control, Computer and Communications Engineering course provides students with well-founded theoretical and application-oriented knowledge in the fields of Control Engineering, Computer Engineering and Communications Engineering. The special profile (unique selling point) of the course is the concentration on the synergy of different sub-areas of electrical, information and communication technology with a special focus on the development of safety-critical, networked, intelligent, electrotechnical systems. The master's degree, which focuses both on individual sub-areas and on their integration into a complex system, serves to prepare you for an engineering profession and gives you access to a doctorate. Due to the international character of the study programme and the teaching language English, the graduates are prepared for jobs in international companies.
The course conveys scientifically sound concepts, methods and techniques in breadth and depth in order to develop new products and services in an interdisciplinary context. By working on current research and development projects, students can choose their own individual focus.
Studies
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.

job prospects
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.
