IT-Engineering (B.Sc.)
Bachelor's program
In the practice-oriented bachelor’s program in IT-Engineering, students engage intensively with various areas of information processing. How do mobile networks operate? How is data transmitted across the internet, and what role will emerging technologies such as 6G play? Communication technology is a key component of today’s interconnected world.
IT-Engineering also plays a crucial role in the development of autonomous vehicles and their advanced sensor technologies. In these vehicles, sensor data from cameras, radar, and other systems are combined to create a comprehensive picture of the surrounding environment.
