Wireless and Sensor Technologies, Master of Science: Electrical Engineering

Our daily life is full of smart electronic solutions. The smartphone has become an important companion, we use Bluetooth headphones to make phone calls or listen to music, our wearables are charged wirelessly, and we can share extensive videos and images on the go without significant waiting time. Wireless and sensor technologies are also working for us behind the scenes. Non-contact sensors record the current traffic situation in real time, miniaturized sensor nodes harvest energy from the environment and transmit their measurement data wirelessly to the cloud, where this data can for instance also be used in cyber-physical models to predict the renewable energy generated within the next few hours. Networked manufacturing facilities enable individualized products while minimizing the use of resources.

The international specialization "Wireless and Sensor Technologies" within the Master's program in Electrical Engineering is aimed at interested students who want to learn, understand, apply and improve these technologies. Help shape our future! Wireless and sensor technologies are also an important component towards solutions against worsening climate change and mitigating its effects, increasing our comfort and enabling synergies between the real and virtual world.

The modules, which are held in English language throughout, also allow international students to choose this exciting specialization. The focus is on the electrical engineering hardware aspects of wireless and sensor systems. The master program Electrical Engineering spans two years (four semesters) with a start in October each year. It includes about two semesters of lectures and internships and almost two semesters devoted to working in a research team (project work) and writing a master's thesis. The academic degree "Master of Science" is awarded.
