Overview
What do you do as a student/ in the practical network - Electrical Engineering at the University of Kassel?
Combining academic study with practical experience? At the University of Kassel, you can do both in one place.
The practice-based Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program combines academic study with practical phases and integrated vocational training—all at the University of Kassel. You’ll also receive financial support throughout the program.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program consists of alternating practical and lecture phases and lasts 7 semesters. The lecture phases take place in the Department of Electrical Engineering/Computer Science at the Wilhelmshöher Allee campus, and the practical phases take place in the university’s training workshop at the Wilhelmshöher Allee campus and in the Technical Building Management department at the Holländischer Platz campus.
While pursuing your degree, you’ll complete an apprenticeship as an electronics technician for industrial engineering and attend vocational school regularly on Fridays.
On the one hand, you’ll receive training as an electronics technician for industrial engineering in the university’s training workshop and in the Technical Building Management department. On the other hand, you’ll gain knowledge of the fundamentals of engineering as well as specialized university-related knowledge.

Frequently asked questions about training
Students in the practical training program receive a monthly salary which is based on the salary of trainees according to § 8 para. 1 of the collective agreement for trainees of the state of Hesse (TVA-H BBiG). This currently amounts to
- EUR 1,356.85 in the 1st year
- EUR 1,411.43 in the 2nd year
- EUR 1,461.51 in the 3rd year
- EUR 1,530.97 in the 4th year
During the practical training phases, you will be assigned to the university’s training workshop and the Technical Building Management department. The training workshop has fixed working hours, which are from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. In Technical Building Management, you’ll participate in a flexible work schedule, which means you can determine the start and end times of your daily work hours yourself, within the framework of the applicable regulations.
Electronics technicians specializing in industrial engineering assemble and connect electrical equipment, measure and analyze electrical functions and systems, assess the safety of electrical systems and equipment, install and configure IT systems, and are responsible for technical task analysis and the development of solutions.
Whether it involves communications technology or software development, electric drives, automation, or sustainable energy supply—electrical engineers shape people’s everyday lives across many industries. Current issues related to resource conservation and clean energy production are a particular focus in Kassel.
In this six-semester program, students acquire application-oriented and theoretical subject knowledge, practical skills, and the fundamentals of scientific work through a combination of theory and practice. A large portion of the courses is supplemented by laboratory internships or independent student teamwork. There’s plenty of room for personal interests and the joy of working with practical applications: Student working groups focus on topics such as the use of microcontrollers, 3D printers, or the Hercules Racing Team. Students choose a specialization starting in the fifth semester—either in the areas of electrical energy systems (mobile or networked), electronics and photonics, information and communication technology, or measurement, control, and regulation technology.
During the electrical engineering program, there are interdisciplinary connections particularly with the fields of computer science and mechatronics. The bachelor’s program qualifies students for a subsequent four-semester master’s program.
Direct contact between students and faculty is a hallmark of the department.
The demand for qualified personnel is high and career opportunities are very good.
