ETL
with a focus on electrical engineering and electronics
NEW from WS 25/26
...electrical engineering and electronics?
Electrical engineering and electronics are the technical prerequisites for almost all areas of industry, business and social life. Examples include automation technology, information and communication technology, electrical drive technology and electrical energy technology. On the electrical engineering side, there are also electrical systems, energy technology with supply networks and electrical drives or storage systems, while the special focus of electronics is on electronics technology, processor-supported applications, electronic assemblies and devices and industrial electronics.
The degree programme builds up the necessary specialist expertise. It develops engineering skills and abilities for systematic thinking and a structured approach to problem solving. Graduates have expertise in electrotechnical systems and electronic devices, semiconductors and electromobility, through to large-scale supply technology. They can be employed in development, in production, in the service sector or in sales, for example in energy companies, in the automotive industry or in the semiconductor and electronics industry.

Would you like to know how modern technology works and the principles behind the devices that characterise our everyday lives? Do you not only want to understand how electricity flows and circuits work, but also develop your own electronic systems and contribute to innovative solutions? Then the Electrical Engineering and Electronics degree programme at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is just right for you!
Here you will learn how electrical and electronic systems are created - from the initial idea to development and implementation. Whether energy technology, automation or electronics design: this degree programme offers you the perfect mix of theory and practice, opening up exciting prospects in a forward-looking industry.
The content of the programme is based on scientific and technical principles as well as technology trends and the regional and national needs of the private and public sectors. The fact that the variety of applications has increased significantly, with their electrical engineering and electronic application specificity, has led to a differentiation in the economy between the electrical engineering industry and the electronics industry. The degree programme takes into account the economic differentiation between the electrical engineering industry and the electronics industry in its teaching through the two profiles of electrical engineering and electronics, thereby guaranteeing a depth of qualification at application level. The degree programme is primarily designed by the university's IAE and in.RET institutes, see homepage.
The first stage of the programme (semesters 1 and 2) includes basic engineering and science courses in particular. There is not yet a division into the two profiling lines, so that a profiling orientation can take place.
The second study phase (semesters 3 to 6) is characterised by joint, cross-profile courses in the compulsory area for the basic development of specialist expertise and by the profiling directions. Automation technology, information and communication technology, electrical drive technology and electronic circuit technology play a special role in the interdisciplinary courses. While the Electrical Engineering specialisation focuses on electrical systems, supply networks and energy technology, the Electronics specialisation focuses on electronics technology, processor-supported applications, assemblies and devices as well as aspects of industrial electronics. Innovative and forward-looking teaching content is provided on the topics of low-power design, diagnostics and repairability.
Further specialisation and supplementary courses, for example on electromobility, storage technology and software technology, can be taken from the compulsory elective area. Several specialised English modules are included in the first and second semesters. The third stage of study (semester 7, final module) includes an internship in industry and the preparation and defence of the Bachelor's thesis.
The degree programme does not require any special prerequisites or prior achievements. Good basic knowledge of maths and physics is advantageous. Review courses are offered in the first two semesters to provide support.
If you are curious about how devices work or have already gained some tinkering experience, this is the right place for you. You can expect a very good starting salary straight after your studies, and excellent development opportunities await you in your future career - both in terms of earning potential and career opportunities. You will also experience recognition and the pride of being a specialist in an important technical sector.
Graduates can be deployed in a variety of roles in companies and organisations:
The successfully completed Bachelor's degree qualifies you for immediate employment and is a very good basis for a company-specific trainee programme or a subsequent Master's degree.
When applying for this Bachelor's degree programme, you must upload a simple copy of your higher education entrance qualification (Abitur certificate or other suitable certificates in pdf format) after registering in the applicant portal.
Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), state-recognised and accredited

Vocational training or study...?
Just can't make up your mind?
Who says you have to choose?
We have the right thing for you!
The StudiumPraxis programme combines the advantages of an academic degree with the benefits of in-depth practical phases in a company. The company accompanies you as a practice partner throughout your entire degree programme. While you study according to the regular curriculum, you gain practical experience with your practice partner during the lecture-free period. This gives you a concrete perspective early on of what your professional career could look like after graduation. The company training allowance will provide you with financial support from the start of your studies.
