Admission requirements

To be admitted to the degree program, applicants must have completed a general university entrance qualification (Abitur) or a comparable university entrance qualification.

German language requirements

International applicants and German applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification are kindly advised to read the requirements for German-language courses.

Information regarding Studienkolleg

Applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification that does not grant them direct access to university education in Germany pursuant to the qualification comparability regulations of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs must attend a Preparatory College (Studienkolleg) prior to studying. You can acquire the subject-specific university entrance qualification here. Further information can be found on the website of the Preparatory College (Studienkolleg).

General information about the degree program

Hardware meets software – the Information Systems Engineering degree program combines electrical engineering and computer science. This combination (= embedded systems) enables more functions that were previously executed by hardware to be accomplished by microprocessors and software. All areas of modern technology utilize these embedded systems. Why? Because they help save energy, improve comfort and reliability, and reduce risks of accident. Moreover, embedded systems make completely new functions possible.

Designing and developing these systems requires knowledge in the realms of both software and engineering. That is why this degree program is jointly run by the Faculty of Computer Science and the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The Information Systems Engineering degree program at TU Dresden merges the content of the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs into a conventional German Diplom degree program and adds consolidated skills and knowledge into the educational mix. We have deliberately decided to stick to the academic degree of Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) because engineers with this degree have a better reputation and therefore better career prospects in German industry and economy. The Diplom-Ingenieur degree in engineering is as valuable as a master’s degree, if not more, as verified by the certificate each of our graduates receives. This certificate serves as a known and valued hallmark of quality, optimally preparing them for an industrial or academic career.
