Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology – Specialisation: Communication Systems

This specialised master’s programme at Ruhr-Universität Bochum focuses on training graduates in communication systems, integrating advanced methods from communication engineering, machine learning, optimisation, and data science. Students develop expertise in systems thinking, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary applications across medical technology, acoustics, and control engineering. The curriculum combines core courses like digital signal processing and wireless communications with elective modules, research seminars, and hands-on lab work. The programme culminates in a six-month master’s thesis, allowing students to independently tackle complex engineering challenges. It is fully taught in English, with optional German-language electives, and supports international students through study-abroad opportunities and career services.

• Complete 120 ECTS credits over four semesters, including compulsory and elective courses in communication systems, machine learning, and data science.
