Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering – Energy Technology FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

The degree programme has a strong focus on applied engineering with practical experience. Students are required to complete an internship before their studies in order to obtain practical experience in their chosen field.

After completing their basic engineering studies in the first three semesters, students have the option of focusing their interests in energy and environmental protection engineering, electrical energy engineering, or electrical power engineering.

The specialisation Electrical Energy Technology deals with the production, distribution, and conversion of electrical energy. Topics such as the use of renewable energy sources and appropriate energy management play an important role in these studies.
Our modern, well-equipped labs play a major role in ensuring that students are later able to apply their knowledge to their chosen careers. Advanced students plan projects together, work towards a common goal and then present the results in a written report as well as to the class.

Students can complete their Bachelor's projects in industry or at the nearby Jülich Research Centre (http://www.fz-juelich.de) as well as in the university labs.

Some students choose to continue in a Master's programme, such as our Master of Science in Energy Systems or Master of Science in Mechatronics or another Master's programme offered at our university or another institution.

More details about the programme are available on our website: Electrical Engineering – Energy Technology | FH Aachen.

During the first three semesters, students focus on basic sciences and engineering courses. Starting in the fourth semester, students focus on their specialisation.
In the sixth/seventh semester, each student takes elective modules or conducts research for a project in addition to the Bachelor‘s thesis.

Deadlines:

Currently approx. 380.60 EUR per semester

Approx. 934 EUR per month, including mandatory health insurance

The semester ticket (included in the student activity fee) includes free use of public transport in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Applicants should not count on financing their stay in Jülich or Aachen by working part-time during their studies. However, some students are successful in finding part-time jobs either at the university or elsewhere.

Some students live in student dormitories. Other students generally live in shared apartments in which each student has his or her own room. Living areas, bathrooms, and cooking facilities are shared. Furnished rooms start at about 350 EUR per month, plus about 75 EUR per month for electricity, water, and heating. Most rooms require the first month's rent and a security deposit of one to three months' rent in advance before you can move into the room. If the room is in good condition when you move out, your security deposit will be returned. International students can place their names on a waiting list for the student dormitories.
