As a student in our degree program in Electrical engineering,
- you will learn to analyze, design and develop electrical engineering systems in different areas and hardware-oriented programming
- you will develop into an expert in measurement and control technology, communication technology and drive technology, depending on your field of study
- we promote and foster your independent work, abstract thinking skills, analytic thinking skills and creativity as key requirements for innovation
- you will gain good communication skills and good English fluency for working on teams and international cooperations
Our bachelor’s degree program prepares you for excellent career prospects in industry and science: electrical engineering is a key field shaping technical progress. Wind turbines, autonomous machines or microchips – electrical engineering covers all areas where electrical, information technology and mechatronic systems and plants are used.
Work areas handled by engineers include, for example:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Software development
- Improving reception quality in mobile wireless networks
- Developing, commissioning and maintaining electronics and industrial systems and machines
We cooperate with a large number of regional and national companies in fields such as
- engineering
- automation technology
- drive technology
Research and development projects, including through the it's OWL cluster, integrate current knowledge from professional practice directly into our coursework. You can also complete our degree program as a dual degree program.
Our department carries out a wide range of application-oriented and fundamental research projects. We participate in national and international research programs.
As a student, you can participate in a variety of ways: we integrate research content into coursework, integrate you as a student into the active work of research groups early on, and deal with some research content in the framework of theses.

Studying at Innovation Campus Lemgo
At the Innovation Campus in Lemgo, you will study at one of the most exciting technology locations in NRW. Here you will find state-of-the-art laboratories and teaching rooms as well as science-to-business factories. For example, the Centrum Industrial IT, in which companies from all over East Westphalia-Lippe (OWL) have their branches. Or the Smart Factory OWL, which showcases data and AI management. In the Future Food Factory OWL, which is unique in Europe, something similar is happening in relation to food production. New work and transfer meet at InnovationSPIN. Here, TH OWL, the district administration and the skilled trades demonstrate transparent cooperation and a spirit that allows new things to emerge. In addition to Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, the campus is also home to two vocational schools and the national handball league team TBV Lemgo-Lippe. And best of all, the campus also has student residence halls with short distances to the university and the city.
