Whether you choose to pass on your knowledge to young people or pursue a career in traditional engineering. Both paths are open to you.
As an electrical engineer, you will work at the interface to Mechanics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Management after your graduation. As a specialist in the key disciplines of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, you find yourself in demand on the labour market,and all sectors are open to you.
The Bachelor’s degree certifies that you are able to teach technical content. Amongst others, a career in corporate education and human resources management is open to you.
A subsequent Master’s degree at the PH Ludwigsburg qualifies you as a higher educationacademiclecturer (“Lehrkraft im Höheren Dienst”) with teaching qualifications ENAT (Energy and Automation Technology) and SIT (Systems and Information Technology).
After registering on the national application portal www.hochschulstart.de, you can apply via the Campusmanagement-System HEonline at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences.
For admission to the engineering education degree programme, you need proof of a 12-week preliminary internship.
Check the requirements
Do you have a university entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur/Fachhochschulreife), a school leaving qualification from a country other than Germany or a vocational qualification? If you do, you have already fulfilled the first requirement for a successful application.

Detailed information about the application procedure
Orientation programme: Getting to know Esslingen University of Applied Sciences
Student life (student finance, food & accommodation, leisure activities)
There are usually more applications than places available. This means that not all applications for degree programmes will be successful. The places available will be awarded in accordance with the result of the university’s own selection procedure.
We are unable to give details of any admission restrictions (numerus clausus, NC) in advance. The NC states the selection threshold and the waiting time in semesters (periods of 6 months) for the last student in the ranking who is admitted to the degree programme. This means the NC varies depending on the number of applicants, their selection thresholds/waiting times and the number of places available. Since this is different for each application phase, we are unfortunately unable to provide any information about the admission restrictions (NC).
For some of the Bachelor degree programmes at Esslingen, the admission procedure for applications for the first regular semester is via the national application portal Hochschulstart and the “dialog-oriented service procedure - DoSV”, where you can apply for a maximum of 12 university places.
To process your application, the “Application/Admission” team needs all the documents required for the admission procedure at Esslingen. You can upload these online via Esslingen’s HEonline campus management system.
Yes. You can also apply even though you have not yet received your final certificate.
You can upload your university entrance qualification in Esslingen’s HEonline campus management system until the application deadline at the latest.
Students wishing to take this programme must have pre-degree practical technical experience in a relevant industrial field or have gained experience of a similar nature while at school or during their vocational training. It is also possible to gain this practical technical experience during the semester break once you have commenced your programme. The deadline for completion is the end of the 3rd semester of study (28 Feb. or 31 Aug.).
Do you love technical and digital challenges? Do you enjoy passing on knowledge and can you imagine working in training and further education? Do you like working with young people and would you like to teach later? Then this degree programme will be an interesting option for you. After graduation, you decide whether you want to work as an engineer or in education and training or apprenticeship.
I trained as an electrical engineer before going to university. When I realised that I wanted to study, I also wanted to stay true to the subject. I researched the available study programmes and came across Engineering Education. I find it hugely interesting, above all from the point of view of combining the technical with the pedagogical.
