Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate, you can independently design, analyze and further develop complex electrical or computer systems. You understand the physical principles behind the processes and know the foundations of mathematical modeling. In accordance with your choice of specialization, you have at your disposal extensive knowledge of your particular area of expertise.
Your capabilities allow you to accurately assess the technical, economic, social and ecological effects of technologies. You are able to recognize and promote innovations in the area of Electrical and Computer Engineering, as well as to assess existing potential. Working in interdisciplinary project teams, you take a lead role and communicate your knowledge and solutions in a way suited to the target group.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Upon completion of the master's program, opportunities arise in the areas of research and development, sales, production or in technical buying, as well as in industry or at research institutions. Furthermore, you can take up positions in the patent system or opt to become self-employed.
Structure
The master's program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology offers considerable flexibility regarding the timeframe in which to cover the course content.
- The program commences with a choice of four core modules from one of the nine core areas offered. Individual elective modules broaden out the program, with various recommendations of where to specialize offering orientation in the discipline. The knowledge acquired is complemented by compulsory labs.
- The informed analysis of current research topics is central to the scientific seminar and to the practice of research.
- Elective modules deal with supplementary expertise and capabilities that are external to the discipline and not directly linked to the chosen specialization. These may, for example, relate to foreign languages or business management.
- The program concludes with a master's thesis, which is devoted to the handling of a major scientific question.

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your bachelor's program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview. In the TUM Department of Mechanical Engineering, students will be invited to take a written test.
