BA/BS in Computer Engineering

The bachelor's course looks at how hardware and software work together in modern computer systems. Questions range from making everyday devices intelligent with artificial intelligence to building communication systems and complex system-on-chip designs. The standard period of study is 6 semesters, worth 180 ECTS credits, with teaching in German. Courses begin in the winter semester. The programme is taught on campus at RWTH Aachen University in Aachen, in the usual full-time format. The detailed module structure and examination rules are laid out in the official examination regulations, which students should consult before applying. Graduates can move on to a consecutive master's degree or begin a professional career. Admission requires the German university entrance qualification (Abitur) or an equivalent recognised entrance qualification (HZB), and the first semester is under open admission (zulassungsfrei). A subject-specific self-assessment must be completed before enrollment.
