Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (etit)

Quality and innovation by tradition – our guiding principle is inspired by Erasmus Kittler, who founded our department in 1882 and thus established electrical engineering in the engineering sciences. Today, the department etit covers all fields of modern electrical and information engineering and is one of Germany's leading institutions due to its international orientation and interdisciplinary networking.
