Electrical Communication Engineering (MSc)

The Master's programme in Electrical Communication Engineering at the University of Kassel is designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in the field of telecommunications engineering. Covering a wide range of topics, including signal processing, communication systems, and network technologies, this programme equips students to tackle contemporary challenges in both academia and industry. The curriculum is structured over four semesters and integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application.

In line with the German higher education system, the programme follows the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), requiring students to complete a comprehensive set of modules. Students will engage in hands-on learning experiences, including a practical or internship semester, which allows them to gain valuable industry exposure and work alongside German Mittelstand companies and other industry partners. This practical approach ensures a strong connection between theoretical concepts and real-world applications.

As part of their studies, students will be required to complete a thesis, an essential component that encourages them to conduct independent research and contribute to the field of telecommunications. Throughout the programme, students will develop a range of skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and project management, making them well-equipped for careers in technical and managerial roles.

This programme suits individuals interested in advancing their technical expertise in telecommunications while also being open to interdisciplinary approaches. It welcomes applicants with a background in electrical engineering, computer science, or related fields, and provides a supportive environment for international students, especially given the opportunity for post-study work in Germany.
