Discover Electrical Engineering at the University of Siegen
Course Description
Chips, sensors, and networks power modern life, and this M.Sc. puts you in the design seat. At the University of Siegen, two of the program's three specializations are taught entirely in English: Electronics Design and Technology and Communication Engineering. You learn to conceive, build, and test the components behind smart cameras, automotive systems, IoT devices, and secure communication, combining lectures and lab courses with a hands-on project in a research group and a final thesis. Faculty work at the frontier of CMOS image sensors, photonics, and energy-efficient wireless systems, opening doors to research projects, an optional double degree with VILNIUS TECH, and a doctorate.
This program is for you if you want to build the electronics of tomorrow rather than just use them. You hold a bachelor's degree in electrical, electronics, communication, or computer engineering and are curious how a chip, a sensor, or a wireless link works inside. You enjoy lab work, think in systems from semiconductor physics to the finished device, and want to test your ideas in a research group before moving into R&D or a PhD.

Specialization Option 1: Electronics Design and Technology
Master analog and digital IC design, semiconductor electronics, optoelectronics, and embedded systems, with electives in nanotechnology, microelectronic sensors, and RF IC design.
Specialization Option 2: Communication Engineering
Design communication systems from signal theory and digital transmission to high-frequency engineering, backed by communication labs and electives like radar and wireless networks.
Double Degree Option
Within the ATHENA European University alliance, the University of Siegen and VILNIUS TECH in Lithuania offer a double-degree track in Electrical Engineering. Students spend the first two semesters at their home university and the third and fourth at the partner university, graduating with a Master of Science from both institutions. In Siegen, the curriculum builds on the Electronics Design and Technology specialization, while VILNIUS TECH contributes modules from its Advanced Electronics Design track; all courses are taught in English. The option is chosen upon enrollment and is open to a small group of three to five outstanding students per year, selected on the basis of bachelor's grades and first-semester performance.

Testimonials
I especially appreciated the structure of the master’s program, which is divided into four subject areas, allowing students to focus on the field that matches their interests. The supervision during my final thesis was also outstanding—professors were supportive, and finding a topic was never an obstacle thanks to their guidance. Finally, the peaceful setting of the University of Siegen, surrounded by forests and green spaces, provided the perfect environment to clear my mind with a walk and recharge between study sessions.
