> Studying in Mannheim

Practice-oriented study

High practical relevance provides an insight into research and development. You will gain hands-on experience through lectures accompanied by laboratory exercises from the very beginning, an integrated practical semester in the industry, as well as study projects. You will become familiar with modern equipment in our laboratories and get to know the requirements of professional practice at an early stage. Your practical knowledge will be highly valued by future employers.

Industrial placement

An industrial placement is undertaken as part of the electrotechnical undergraduate courses during the fifth semester. For students in the electrotechnical courses, this is an opportunity to broaden and deepen their knowledge and skills through engineering activities. Furthermore, they will gain experience of working conditions and methods in real-life settings. We recommend that German students undertake their placement abroad, while students from other countries should complete their placement in Germany.

Small class sizes with individual support

Small class sizes foster close collaboration between students, professors, and the department. We consider the personal atmosphere to be a significant advantage. It is always possible to contact professors with any questions. In addition to the professors, dedicated staff are also available as contact persons in the laboratories. Furthermore, learning groups are commonly formed among our students.

Best acceptance in the industry

The course content is adapted to the needs of the industry and offers excellent career opportunities. Your Bachelor's degree, combined with your practical experience, is highly valued in the industry. Our graduates establish valuable connections with successful companies through their internships. Following graduation, they quickly find employment in the industry, thanks to the professional relevance of their studies.
