Your Final Year!

The industrial placement (BPP) is a mandatory part of the program. According to the examination regulations, the duration of the mandatory internship is 26 weeks for the PO 20190 students and from 19 - 26 weeks for PO 2012 students, respectively. During the internship the status as a student remains untouched.

The mandatory internship must be carried out as full-time work for the required duration. This implies that it is not possible to attend lectures or laboratories at the university in parallel to the internship.

In virtually all cases, the internship and the master thesis are executed at a company. It is the responsibility of each student to apply regularly to potential companies to find a placement or a job for the Master Thesis.

During the winter semester, a mandatory information meeting will be organised providing information and guidance for the application process.

Before you start with your internship, please make sure that you fulfil the following formal requirements.

• German language test: At least A1 or higher
• 30 Credits Points (45 CP recommended)
• Preliminary Seminar

In case you have prior working experience, the internship may be shortened. Please contact the BPP responsible Prof. Bannwarth for details.

Additionally please make sure that your payment covers your cost of living.

The Master Thesis is a part of the concluding modul, which contains the master thesis and a colloquium. It is foreseen for the 3rd (MSEIT) / 4th (IMSEIT) semester.

The Master's dissertation should demonstrate that the candidate is able to independently process a problem drawn from the field of electrical engineering and information technology, using scientific methods, within a set deadline. The processing time is 6 months. The thesis shall be written in German or English and always features a summary in English. For further information, please check the examamination regulations (ABPO and BBPO).
