School Students
Get ready for your unfolding!
Are you interested in studying engineering? At our Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (etit for short) at TU Darmstadt, you have many opportunities to develop yourself in topics that will help to shape the future: E-mobility, energy transition, medical technology, artificial intelligence, digitalisation in all areas of life – to name just a few. In our degree programmes you will learn the necessary knowledge to shape the technical progress of the 21st century.

Study with etit?
Studying at etit is demanding. Because we train students to become responsible, competent engineers. At the same time, everyday study life with us offers freedom for self-development and self-realisation. Our professors teach with a constant eye on innovation potential. In addition, Darmstadt is considered a student city, which means that you can meet a lot of like-minded people here. We have summarised some information for you here to give you an initial overview of what we have to offer.
What else speaks in favour of etit at the TU Darmstadt
- Wide range of interdisciplinary degree programmes with the possibility to change programmes
- Above-average opportunity to form your own specialisations: Opportunities to develop your own interests are a good 50 percent above the average at other technical universities.
- Unusually high proportion of practical courses in the basic studies as well as darmstadt-specific practice-oriented project seminars
- Large range of international exchange opportunities and double degree programmes
- All compulsory courses and 95 percent of the elective courses are offered online in digital form.
Career Profils
We can't give you a general idea of where your career will take you after graduation. But there are a few buzzwords that can give you an idea of what might be possible after graduation.
Autonomous Driving
Autonomous (automatic) driving is a central topic of the 21st century with a high demand for new engineers. This is because, in contrast to regular driving, autonomous driving involves several other technologies that you will want to develop and implement:
Real-time analysis of the environment (sensor technology),
automatic distance control,
cloud computing,
Data technology
…
Energy Transition
The challenge (and the promise) of the energy transition is to increasingly generate energy from sustainable resources and to design the infrastructure of the energy networks in such a way that they strike the optimal balance between efficiency, availability and maintainability. This calls for engineers who can address the following issues:
Renewable energies
Energy conversion, storage and use,
Climate development
Power plant technology
…
Biomedical Engineering
The dovetailing of medicine and technology is currently taking place more intensively than ever before. The question of how engineers in medicine can save lives with innovative ways of treating patients arises all the more in the current mood of awakening for nanocomputers, exoskeletons, prostheses and robotics. And there are other construction sites in medical technology that call for engineers:
Image processing
Computer-aided simulations
Rehabilitation technology and robots
Minimally invasive surgery
…
Because data transmission via the internet is becoming more and more sophisticated and sophisticated, because the transmitted data is constantly increasing in size and variety, and because the internet goes hand in hand with cybercrime, extensive knowledge and expertise is required. Because: network protocols such as TCP/IP or UDP, or communication systems such as Bittorrent, 5G or UMTS are complex matters. In addition, relevant fields of application for engineers:
Computer networks
Artificial intelligence
Cybersecurity
Visual computing
Soft and hardware architecture
Robotics
…
Students report
What do our students say about their studies? Four of them tell you about their experiences at TU Darmstadt and give useful tips. You can find more information from Marcel, Marlies, Daniel, Jennifer and other students at student@school.
Jennifer,
Biomedical Engineering Student
At university, I work out my own solutions. This way I can be creative while learning.
Marcel,
Information Systems Technology Student
The mentoring programme has helped me a lot during the first semester.
Marlies,
Student of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
There are very many areas for specialization. Everybody can find something that excites them.
Daniel,
Student of Mechatronics
The teachers here take great care of you, so studying is a lot of fun!
