Career outcomes
- You build engineering fundamentals in electrical engineering and information technology, so you graduate ready for development, design, and systems work in the electrification and digitalization industries.
- The program’s specialisations (for example Smart Grids, Semiconductors, Information and Telecommunications, and Medizintechnik) help you aim for specific technical roles aligned with what employers are actively hiring for.
- Because the curriculum includes engineering labs and applied project work, you gain practical skills you can discuss in interviews and apply immediately in junior engineering positions.
- You strengthen skills that support cross-functional work such as project planning and management, which helps you progress toward roles like project manager for technology projects and technology innovation consulting.
- The degree qualification (Bachelor of Engineering, B.Eng., 180 credits) gives you a formal, recognized engineering credential that supports career development in Germany and internationally.
Employability rate
For graduates of electrical and information engineering in Germany, employability is commonly reported in the range of about 85% with an unemployment rate of about 15%, reflecting strong demand for technical profiles.
Together, these figures point to a stable career outlook with consistent hiring in electrical engineering, automation, telecommunications, and related R&D roles.
✅ Entry Requirements
Academic qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Higher secondary / A-Level | The Euro-FH describes access paths for Bachelor studies including entry with Abitur or Hochschulreife, and alternative routes without Abitur. For students educated abroad, the university evaluates whether your prior qualifications meet the access requirements via its admissions/entry process. |
| Bachelor's degree | This Bachelor programme requires an appropriate higher-education entrance qualification (or an alternative access qualification path) for Bachelor admission, not a completed bachelor degree. |
Module matching by study area
| Study area | Match possible? | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Engineering | Direct match | Euro-FH’s Bachelor programme Elektro- & Informationstechnik covers core areas of electrical engineering and information technology, so prior study in related engineering and technical fields is generally a close match. |
Language requirements
For the Bachelor Fernstudium at Euro-FH, language requirements are handled via the university’s admissions/entry process. If you are not admitted directly, you may complete the Euro-FH Bachelor entrance assessment, which includes a German test and an English self-test.
Exam / assessment
Euro-FH’s Bachelor entrance assessment includes an English self-test as part of the entrance procedure.
💶 Fees & Funding
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition | EUR 0 / per year | Euro-FH states costs as “Ab 281 €/Monat” for this Bachelor (full tuition amount not shown on the program page). |
