IMPORTANT NOTICE: Students interested in the Electrical Power Engineering major must apply for the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose one of the following five majors: Electrical Power Engineering, Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Systems and Automation, Communications Engineering, or Biomedical Systems Engineering.
- How it is organised
- The standard period of study is four full-time semesters (two years), including the preparation of the Master's thesis. The course of study may be commenced in either semester. The programme consists of a range of mandatory or mandatory-elective modules that define its specific profile.
- Internships
- Students are required to complete an industrial internship for a minimum period of 18 weeks, as an integrated and compulsory part of their curriculum.
- Part-time work
- International students have very limited work opportunities while studying. Therefore, it is not possible to finance your entire studies through working alone.

From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
