Welcome to the Department of Electrical Engineering, Media and Computer Science

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
dear visitors of our homepage,

I would like to welcome you to the website of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Media and Computer Science – in short, the Department EMI.

We offer study programs and conduct applied research and developments in the fields of electrical engineering and information technology, educational technology, geoinformatics and land management, industrial informatics, engineering pedagogy, artificial intelligence, media informatics, and media technology and media production.

In eight Bachelor's and six Master's degree programs, our students prepare for challenging technical professions in current future fields. The study conditions at our department are characterized by small study groups, close contact between students and lecturers, and equipment at the highest technical level. Most of our degree programs can also be studied "dual", in combination with an apprenticeship.

You can find more details about our study programs and facilities under career fields, study programs and laboratories.

In addition to teaching, the professors of the EMI department carry out numerous research and development projects, in cooperation with other universities and research institutions, but especially with industrial partners from the region and beyond. You can find more information about research and development at the Department EMI under Competence Fields, Projects and Laboratories.

Please feel free to contact us - we are open to questions, requests or suggestions.
 

Yours sincerely
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Schäfer
Dean of the Faculty EMI
