Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen

What you'll study

The first three semesters establish a shared core covering electrical engineering, mathematics, programming, digital technology, physics and measurement technology. From semester four you choose one of four specialisations: Automatisierungstechnik und Robotik (Automation & Robotics), Elektronik und Embedded Systems, Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik (Information & Communication Technology) or Elektrische Energietechnik für regenerative Energiesysteme (Electrical Energy Technology for Renewable Systems).

• Core modules (semester 1–3 examples): Studieneinstiegs‑Seminar; Elektrotechnik 1–3; Mathematik 1–2; Einführung in die Programmierung 1–2; Digitaltechnik; Physik; Messtechnik; Transformationen; Mikrorechnertechnik; Elektronik.
• Middle phase (semesters 4–6): Mandatory modules include Softwareentwicklung, Grundlagen der Informations‑ und Kommunikationstechnik, Systemtheorie, Projektarbeit and SRW‑modules from related departments. Students also take specialisation modules and elective modules (4–6 choices) totalling the required credits.
• Specialisation examples:
• Automatisierungstechnik und Robotik: Steuerungs‑ und Regelungstechnik, elektronische Antriebstechnik, Robotik, Leistungselektronik and related subjects to configure and program automation hardware/software and perform commissioning and maintenance tasks.
• Elektronik und Embedded Systems: analog/digital circuit design, microcontroller programming, HF and measurement techniques, semiconductor physics, chip design (ASICs), CAE/CAD tools for design and EMV considerations.
• Informations‑ und Kommunikationstechnik: design and maintenance of information products and complex communication systems, data capture/storage/processing, transmission over local and global networks and signal compression topics.
• Elektrische Energietechnik für regenerative Energiesysteme: design, development and optimisation of components and systems for electrical energy technology, with a focus on regenerative systems.
• Final phase (semester 7): A 12‑credit professional practical phase (BPP) with a seminar and presentation, plus a 12‑credit bachelor thesis and a bachelor colloquium.

Entry requirements

The programme page lists the course as "Zulassungsfrei" (no admission restriction). Instruction language is German and the programme is located in Gießen. For full module descriptions consult the programme's module handbook.

Career prospects

Graduates gain broadly applicable technical and methodological skills suited to roles in automation and robotics, electronics and embedded product development, information and communication systems, and electrical energy systems for renewables. Typical tasks described in the curriculum include project planning and management, system design, development and testing of hardware and software, commissioning, maintenance, and technical product management or customer advising within industrial, energy and communications sectors.

Scholarships & funding angle

The course description does not list specific scholarships. Prospective students should explore university, state and national funding schemes, industry scholarships in engineering fields, and typical support such as BAföG or employer‑sponsored internships to finance study and practical phases.
