Convocation Ceremony

This page contains automatically translated content.

Each semester the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science organizes convocation ceremony at Wilhelmshöher Allee. The event celebrates the graduation of Bachelor and Master students in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science, electrical communication engineering (ECE), and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for the Middle East and North Africa Region (REMENA) by presenting them with Bachelor and Master Certificates. In addition, doctoral or habilitation degrees are also presented. The speeches often provide an overview on how the skills gained during the studies can be. These speeches are highly enjoyable and interesting for the graduates as well as the guests.  

Since autumn 2012, the department of Electrical Engineering / Computer Science, in co-operation with the VDE Bezirksverein Kassel eV, has awarded the sponsorship prize for outstanding study achievements. The semester celebration is accompanied by CONVOCATIONS, a band consisting of professors from the department.
