In which career
fields will I
work?
Electronic communications have influenced every day life enormously during the last 150 years. This is
obvious both for the established and the emerging economies, whenever we use a telephone or watch
television. But it is also true for seemingly remote areas, for even there weather data is collected and
volcanic eruptions, thunderstorms or other natural phenomena are monitored by satellite. The rapid
development of computers has added previously unimaginable power to all types of data handling.
Consequently we are now witnessing the emergence of technical systems in which information is
collected, processed, retrieved and offered for use on a large scale, even in small embedded systems.
In view of this we understand information engineering in a broad sense covering everything from
electrical engineering and computer science to the development and managing of information systems.
There are strong signals from the development of the world economy as well as from the progress of
technology that the demand for qualified staff in the field of information and computer engineering will
increase substantially during the coming years. To become a successful professional in this field you
need a sound basis on both the hardware and software sides of such systems. Physical
interconnection of computers, processing of digital signals, software engineering and database
management alike, for example are essential areas of experience if you want to be well prepared for
your career.
What is the
content of the
degree
programme?
The Hamburg University of Applied Sciences offers courses that will enable you to meet the challenge
of modern information engineering in an atmosphere of international communication and exchange.
