Benefit from thorough theoretical basic education and creative, interdisciplinary application of your technical knowledge.
As a graduate of our degree program, you will gain the skills needed to
- research and evaluate intelligent solutions for increasingly complex tasks
- design, research and evaluate a broad range of electrical engineering applications and systems
- link technical knowledge with management and innovation strategies
Electrical engineering is an essential pillar of technical progress.
Wind turbines, autonomous machines, high data rate failsafe communication systems, energy efficient and energy-optimized systems or microchips: electrical engineering covers all areas where electrical, information technology and mechatronic systems and plants are used.
Our master's degree program in electrical engineering prepares you for excellent career prospects in national and international industry, and for work in planning, research and development departments. Our degree program also teaches fundamental knowledge for moving into your first management position. The master’s degree is also required for a Ph.D., and can serve as the starting point for an academic career.
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.
Our faculty 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’ll study at one of the most exciting technology hubs in North Rhine-Westphalia. Here you’ll find state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms, as well as science-to-business factories. Take, for example, the Centrum Industrial IT, where companies from across the OWL region have established branches. Or the Smart Factory OWL, which demonstrates data and AI management. At the Future Food Factory OWL—unique in Europe—similar activities take place, this time focused on food production. New Work and knowledge transfer converge at InnovationSPIN. Here, TH OWL, the district administration, and the skilled trades demonstrate transparent collaboration and a spirit that fosters innovation. In addition to the Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, the campus is also home to two vocational colleges as well as the Bundesliga handball club TBV Lemgo-Lippe. And best of all: the campus features student housing just a short walk from the university and downtown.
