In an age of maximum mobility and globally operating firms, the infrastructure of communications is of primary importance in further developing our information economy. The forming global job market requires world-wide accessibility to important onsite information. There is also an increasing need for more private communication, which can guarantee the orientation and well-being of globally active personnel. Because of continuing miniaturisation, exciting mobile products are being produced which will integrate into existing individual systems like chip-cards, mobile telephones, navigation systems or multimedia PCs within very small spaces and will ultimately make possible far reaching links between vehicles and appliances in the profession, and also in household and leisure areas.

The course communications technology deals with such communication and information systems. Knowledge in modern hardware and software development in theory and practice will be given which will allow the graduate himself to assimilate the relevant facts and so be able to work through and advance projects in the area of information and communications technology within a team, using the acquired scientific knowledge and methods. Examples of topical subjects are: digital communication networks in far field and local applications, wired as well as wireless (Bloetooth, LAN, WLAN, WiMax, ISDN, GSM/UMTS, optical Networks), worldwide distributed information and multimedia systems (internet, WWW, VoIP, IPTV) consumer electronics as well as measurement, logistics and automation systems (telematics, RADAR GPS, RFID).

Standard period of study: 7 semesters (including the practical semester). Graduation degree: Bachelor of Engineering (BEng)

Graduation degree: Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Admission to the Ulm University master’s course
