Computer Engineering (B.Sc.)

Are you looking for a degree whichto combine programming, computer graphics, and virtual worlds with microelectronics, digital technology, and computer networks, as well as the chance to develop new game consoles, cell phones, household appliances, on-board computers, or robot control systems? An understanding of the working environment shows that it is not enough to learn about programming after completing a degree in electrical engineering or to take a course in digital electronics after finishing a degree in computer engineering. This is where the bachelors program in Computer Engineering comes in by providing a university education in computer engineering with an introduction to the principles of electrical engineering. The highly interdisciplinary nature of the program equips you with the skills and knowledge you need to make a successful start to your career or further your studies in a masters program. The core topics of software engineering, computer networking, and electronics enable you to acquire the skills and knowledge to be able to develop sophisticated computer-based systems working as a computer scientist and electrical engineer. You can also choose your own area of specialization from fields such as embedded systems, intelligent networks, or media technology, making this a major component of your studies.

The aim of the bachelors program in Computer Engineering is to prepare you to be a farsighted engineer working at the exciting interface between software development and electronics. You have a firm grasp of the most important technical principles and methods of computer engineering and are able to apply these in practice. Your professional career will focus on developing hardware and software systems. However, you also acquire knowledge and skills beyond these technical fields: The program further teaches you to work independently and responsibly, to be a good team player, to be able to think abstractly and creatively, and to present your findings effectively. These skills are just as important for your future work in developing solutions to problems. A Bachelor of Science enables you to start your career, set up your own business, or continue your academic studies by doing a masters degree in an appropriate subject.

Admission to every bachelors program at TU Berlin requires a university entrance qualification certificate. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications.

The Computer Engineering bachelors program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission. As much of the technical literature in the field is published in English, a good level of English is also desirable.

To succeed in the Computer Engineering program, you will need a strong interest in computer-based devices, programming, and digital technology as well as an aptitude for exploring theoretical-technical problems, mathematics, and physics. Initiative and good self-management skills are also important to meet the demands of studying at university.
