Kurzbeschreibung
Communication and Information Technology is a two-year Master of Science Programme with a highly research-oriented curriculum providing you with the advanced competences necessary to develop the infrastructure and devices of the future, where wireless and fibreoptic networks become ever faster, and evermore ubiquitous.
It combines advanced topics of integrated mixed-signal and RF circuits, RF engineering and radar design, wireless communication, signal processing, optical communication devices, and machine learning.
Vollzeitstudium
The Communication and Information Technology degree programme offers specialisations in four tracks, Communications Circuits and Systems, Sensor Circuits and Systems, Communications Engineering and Intelligent Systems. The specialisations offer a strong foundation in integrated mixed-signal and RF circuits, RF engineering and radar design, wireless communication, signal processing, optical communication devices, and machine learning.
Those whose main interest is modern digital communication methods, such as coding, networking or advanced modulation techniques, will choose the Communications Engineering specialisation. In accordance with the research specialisation of the Electrical Engineering Faculty at the University of Ulm, mobile communication methods and systems are strongly emphasised.
Students interested in the underlying hardware aspects, such as microwave/millimetre-wave engineering, microelectronics and optoelectronic devices, will opt for the Communications Circuits and Systems specialisation, in which the emphasis is on the hardware aspects of modern communication systems. The excellent infrastructure in millimetre waves and microfabrication offers a unique combination of theoretical instruction with hands-on laboratory experience.
Students with a focus on integrated circuit and sensor design can opt for the specialisation in Sensor Circuits and Systems, in which mixed-signal and RF integrated circuits, mm-wave engineering, integrated sensors and sensor interfaces will be taught.
Software-oriented students with a background and interest in information system technology or computer engineering can specialise in Intelligent Systems. In this track, machine learning, pattern recognition, and secure system engineering are the focus.
The curriculum distinguishes between core subjects, specialisation subjects (according to the chosen specialisation), practical subjects and complementary subjects. Complementary subjects are both scientific-technical, leading to an increased level of specialisation in certain areas, and non-technical, for example, with a stronger emphasis on languages or soft skills.
The modules all contain lectures and classes. Some also use a blended approach, which additionally uses seminars and laboratory experiments.
- Above-average performance in the completed degree
- The willingness to work in a challenging, multi-cultural environment
- A B.Sc. or B.Eng. (or higher degree) in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering or Physics or a related or subject-specific course of study at the level of at least three years of study.
- Language skills at level C 1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
As the global economy transitions from the industrial to the information age, a broadband and omnipresent communications and information infrastructure becomes each nation's most vital resource, creating new and exciting professional opportunities everywhere on the planet. A global workplace for highly qualified engineers of tomorrow develops, which requires
- a thorough understanding of the concepts that fuel the rapid technological change in the field,
- as well as a profound alertness towards the non-technical issues which so often make the difference between success and failure
The Master of Science Programme in Communication and Information Technology at Ulm University is uniquely designed to meet these demands. Established in 1998, it was among the first educational programmes in Germany taught exclusively in English, and designed specifically for foreign students.
We are devoted to giving you the right education to help shape communication and information systems of the future.

For more than two decades, the Master of Science Programme Communication and Information Technology has prepared international students for exciting careers in today's global information society and in a broad spectrum of industrial areas, especially in research and development.
Application areas go from mobile communications via the automotive industry to medical engineering. Furthermore, good graduates from the programme are well prepared for a doctoral research study. The programme is therefore also the basis for a scientific career at a University or research institute throughout the world.
Ulm University’s campus, located on a hill high above the city, hosts a growing number of public and industrial research and development centers, three major hospitals, and another institution of higher education, the Ulm University of Applied Science. Jointly, they form the Science City, the major driver of economic development in the region since 1988. This close proximity promotes responsive connections between industrial needs and academic research and education. Engineering sciences in particular thrive in this environment which has little resemblance with the ivory towers of old.
The research centers within the Science City cover aspects as diverse as medical technology, renewable clean sources of energy, 4G and 5G base station development, advanced semiconductor devices, battery technologies for the electric cars of the future, and autonomous vehicles. Our students benefit through part-time employment, internships, and thesis topics of high industrial relevance.
Places not limited.
Application from 15 August until 30 September via the Campus Portal of Ulm University.
