There is scarcely any product currently used in key areas of society such as health, energy, mobility, industry or communication which does not rely upon electrical or electronic components. The increasing role of information technology and communication technology means that the boundaries of computer science are becoming less clearly defined. This development is reflected in TU Berlins broadly based masters program in Electrical Engineering. Students can choose from a broad range of modules in the fields of electrical power engineering, automation engineering, electrical engineering, photonics and integrated systems as well as communication systems to develop, deepen and apply the knowledge gained in their bachelors program The content of these modules allows students to acquire technical and practical knowledge of the entire product development process - from the initial idea and emergence of a product through to its production and applications. The mandatory internship represents an important aspect of this masters degree. The programs close links to the profession of electrical engineering prepares students for their subsequent careers as engineers by enabling them to work on practical technical tasks. Electrical engineering permeates our entire living environment and as such provides students with many career options.

The four-semester Electrical Engineering masters degree is made up of compulsory elective modules, elective modules, a masters thesis and an internship. The program structure as well as the regulations regarding the selection of modules are laid out in the programs study and examination regulations.
Within the first three semesters you can choose compulsory elective modules from the field of theoretical basics as well as a number of other study fields. A study field combines modules offered by a number of academic chairs into a single area of thematic focus, enabling students to specialize in a technical area and thus develop a professional profile.
You can choose from the following study fields to establish your area of specialization:
- Automation engineering
- Electrical power engineering
- Electrical engineering, photonics, and integrated systems
- Communication systems
You can choose additional modules from these and all other study fields within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, provided these modules have been assigned to masters programs.
The elective program further provides you the opportunity to learn about other issues, including socially relevant topics, by taking modules outside your subject area. You can choose from courses offered at TU Berlin as well as other universities with equal status in Germany or abroad. The fourth semester is reserved for writing your masters thesis. Upon successful completion of the masters degree you will be awarded a Master of Science, which is an internationally recognized higher degree qualifying you for professional work.
You are required to complete an internship as part of the masters program. You can find further details under “Internshipâ€.
You can find the proposed course schedule in the study and examination regulations. The most current version of the regulationsapplies to applicants.
