The application deadline for applicants within the EU is May 31, 2025, for applicants outside the EU March 31, 2025.
Hardware and Software for Smart Devices
Integrated computer systems are the brains of the devices that surround us every day, whether in the home, in the automobile, in industry or medical technology. After basic electronics training, students in the Embedded & Cyber-Physical Systems major learn about these systems from a hardware and software perspective.
Program Overview
Electronics is a basic technology that is used everywhere today. In the first four semesters, students learn the basics of hardware-related software development and the development of electronic hardware, supplemented by natural sciences, economics and personality-building courses:
In the final year, the major focuses on embedded & cyberphysical systems, i.e. embedded, high-performance, mostly specialized computer systems:
