Students on the electrical engineering course

Very pleasant atmosphere.

Even during my Bachelor's thesis, it was clear to me that I wanted to do my Master's degree at the University of Siegen. The decisive factor for me was the very pleasant atmosphere in the lectures due to the very good ratio of lecturers to students. This meant that it was always possible to ask questions directly in the lectures. The questions were always answered with pleasure and the lecturers were generally always open to suggestions or even a technical discussion.
I found it particularly interesting that the Master's is divided into four subject areas, from which you can choose one depending on your interests. This meant that you could study in the area that you enjoy the most. I also found the supervision during my thesis very good. Finding a suitable topic was not a problem, as the professors are very helpful when it comes to choosing a suitable topic. The quiet surroundings of the University of Siegen were also very pleasant. The many forests are perfect for taking a short walk and relaxing between studying.

1) As a rule, only students with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering can be admitted to the Master's degree program.

2) In cases of hardship, the responsible examination board will decide on a case-by-case basis.

The current (subject) examination regulations always apply.

(Subject) examination regulations/study plans/module handbooks/internship regulations

(Subject) examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). Students are automatically subject to the current version of an FPO when they enrol for their first semester. This means that even if the FPO changes during the course of study, the original version according to which you enrolled is still valid (provided this FPO does not expire).
The respective study plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information for each module to be studied can be found in the module handbooks (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination).
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.

Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least take a look at the curriculum of your degree program so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
