Are you interested in technology and the use of latest tools to design automation systems while developing electronic circuits and devices? You don’t only want to commit yourself to one single industry, but to acquire a sound knowledge in all areas?

The bachelor degree course Automation and Electronics Engineering at Nordhausen University offers you the opportunity to do so. Practice-oriented, you will learn how to handle state-of-the-art development tools in control engineering. The design and simulation of electronic circuits and devices are also part of the curriculum, which prepares you for your future profession.

Automation and Electronics Engineering: An ideal and future-proof combination

Construction of test circuits
Design of electronic circuits
Programming and testing
Robotics in the university laboratory

Thanks to our well-developed network of industry contacts in Germany and abroad, practical training and a practical phase during your bachelor's thesis in a company are guaranteed. In addition, you also have a good chance to be employed in one of these companies after graduation.

Have you already made a decision?

Applications are again possible from April 15 of each year.

Why should you study at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences?

The link between automation and electronics engineering exists in this form only at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences. Another plus is the special offer "development and construction of aerial robots", which is also offered only in Nordhausen. The combination of two majors offers you a variety of opportunities to apply your knowledge after graduation.

Career prospects

Since you decide to study at an interdisciplinary level, you will have the opportunity to work in automation or electronics engineering and production after graduation. In addition, you will also be optimally prepared for a cross-departmental activity that will open you a few doors, especially in connection with the catchword "Industry 4.0", in which automation, electronics and information technology merge.

Numerous national and international industrial contacts of the university ensure a practical training, a practical phase with a bachelor thesis in a company as well as a very good placement rate of graduates, which are assigned to the urgently needed group MINT (MINT = mathematicians, engineers, natural scientists and technicians).

 

Entry requirements

In order to study Automation and Electronics Engineering (B.Eng.) at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, you need a general university entrance qualification, a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification, university of applied sciences entrance qualification or an equivalent recognized degree.
