Electrical engineers are in demand on the job market. According to the latest survey (2024), 87.5 percent of Bachelor's graduates from the University of Kassel found permanent employment. The range of occupational fields is broad and includes jobs in large-scale industry as well as in medium-sized companies, engineering offices, public companies, administrations or research institutions.

As a key sector, electrical engineering plays an important role in practically all technical areas:

- Automation technology
- electronics industry
- electromobility
- energy technology
- Information and communication technology
- Medical technology
- Metrology and sensor technology
- Micro and nanotechnology
- Environmental technology

Those who want to stay in the academic world work in research institutions and at universities. This is particularly true for graduates who go on to study for a Master's degree.

The engineering aptitude test

The "think ING." website is an initiative for the next generation of engineers by the Confederation of Metal and Electrical Industry Employers' Associations. In addition to extensive information on the engineering profession, there is also a recommended engineering aptitude test "Check your ING potential" with a detailed evaluation.

Can you do more?

Bachelor's graduates can then pursue a career in professional practice or deepen their scientific qualifications by studying for a Master's degree. The Master's course (four semesters) ends with a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree and gives graduates the opportunity to do a doctorate. Both the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses can be started in the winter or summer semester.
