About this programme

The most exciting innovations often come about where conventional disciplines overlap, which is why computer scientists and electronics engineers work together in interdisciplinary teams. Complex networked products and services need intensive communication between developers and engineers from various disciplines, companies, and research institutes – for today and tomorrow’s applications. The Free State of Bavaria provides additional funding for the expansion of the Faculty of Engineering and the development of the degree programme in Information and Communications Technology to supply the labour market with the specialists it urgently needs in this field. The funding enables the support provided to students to be improved and finances new professorships, which extends the range of courses for students. ICT is especially well positioned in Erlangen, thanks to the short distances and excellent collaboration between the Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Communication; the Department of Computer Science; two Fraunhofer Institutes specialising in ICT; and a unique landscape of international as well as small and medium-sized companies that are also active in this field. This excellent collaboration led to the development of the MP3 format, which became a global success. Some of the ICT professors in Erlangen were involved in developing the MP3 format. With such inspiring teachers, ICT students in Erlangen have a positive outlook towards collaboration and look
