Electrical engineering and information technology

Technological progress is changing our lives in ever shorter cycles. But behind the scenes, a revolution is being prepared whose social impact is not yet foreseeable. With increasing automation in production, we are talking about Industry 4.0. It will have a decisive impact on our work and our lives, and may even trigger fundamental changes.

For this change, we need specialists who are familiar with electronic and electrotechnical components as well as their programming and networking. However, interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge alone would not be enough, as we need managers with well-developed soft skills to work in teams. Increasingly international teams need to be coordinated and managed in order to shape the transition to a new age of work efficiently and humanely.

At htw saar, graduates with a Bachelor's degree or comparable qualifications can work towards a Master's degree in three semesters. The extremely modern facilities of the library, computer rooms and scientific laboratories are available to students for their studies and the completion of projects and theses.

The Master's degree course in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology deals with the following questions:

What will the power grid of the future look like if energy generation becomes increasingly decentralized?
How can we manage to automate production in industry in line with demand?
How do we design world-leading, autonomous mobility?
How do we achieve increasing production figures with decreasing resource consumption?

We still need everything we have learned in our professional lives today.
