Research, develop and shape the future!
nowadays, we can no longer think of our environment without
electronic equipment. the increasingly rapid development
of high-performance technology and ongoing global
automation are creating unexpected opportunities – both
technically and job-wise. take part in the exploration of this
field and design our future! this study program addresses
graduates of electrical engineering, communication engineering,
Information technology, computer engineering, control
engineering, electronics or similar disciplines.
Srh University heidelberg – your alma mater
As one of the oldest and largest private universities nationwide, we
set standards in the field of education. We impart knowledge that
really lets you move ahead – practically, innovatively and creatively.
A highly important part of this process is the close cooperation
between students and tutors.
our concept for success: we offer new, practical courses of study, individual
support and a fast track to the labor market. for our students,
this means the best chance of an optimal start in professional life
– with a tight network of connections to enterprises and educational
institutions worldwide.
School of engineering and architecture – your faculty
Whether in architecture or engineering, the school of engineering
and Architecture – part of the srH university Heidelberg – offers
you an excellent education that is subject-specific: you’ll be ready
for take-off in working life, with a unique mix of theoretical basics,
field trips and internships. We place great importance on the issues
of energy efficiency and sustainability – so that you can meet future
challenges successfully and responsibly.
Practice-oriented studies
the main focus of this course is the implementation, support and/
or management of computer-based information systems, particularly
with regard to software applications and computer hardware, but
also to antenna design for mobile and satellite applications. you

will learn how to use computers and software to convert, store, protect,
process, transmit and securely retrieve information. Besides providing the
necessary specialized knowledge, we focus specifically on preparing you
for your career entry right from the very start: in the many classes, practice
sessions and interdisciplinary projects, you solve practical problems
independently as well as in teams. current projects dealt with in information
technology are digital television, mobile communication, satellite
electronics and navigation (especially robotics applications). one of
the projects is our student satellite program, „Heidelsat“.
