BA/BS in IT-Engineering

IT-Engineering is a Bachelor of Science at Ruhr-Universität Bochum that is taught in German and English. It prepares students to design and run information technology systems, combining hardware and software knowledge. The guiding questions concern secure and efficient communication networks, algorithms and system structures for complex technical problems, artificial intelligence on distributed and embedded systems, and the use of large data sets. Laboratories are integrated into every semester. A three-month industrial or research internship is part of the degree, and a stay abroad is voluntary. Graduates typically work in the IT sector and in communication technology. The programme starts in the winter semester and has open admission (zulassungsfrei). Further details on enrolment are available separately for German and international applicants, and the semester contribution is explained on a dedicated university page. Students can turn to the study advisory service of the department with questions about content and admission.
