• The course in Control, Computer and Communications Engineering provides students with sound theoretical and application oriented knowledge of control engineering, computer engineering and communications engineering. Our unique profile combines synergies in the areas of electrical engineering, computer engineering and communications engineering with a special focus on the development of safety critical network, integrated, electrical and electronics systems.
• The postgraduate degree, which focuses both on each subfield and on their integration in complex systems, prepares students for engineering professions and qualifies them to begin a Ph.D. programme. Because of the course's international character and the fact that English is the language of instruction, graduates receive the best preparation for careers at multinational companies.
• In the course students acquire sound knowledge in depth and breadth of the concepts, methods and techniques required for the development of innovative products and services in an interdisciplinary context. Students have the opportunity to participate in current research and development projects, allowing them to focus on their preferred specializations.
• The course structure includes compulsory and optional modules in three specializations: Control Engineering, Computer Engineering and Communications Engineering. To meet the main targets of the course in terms of expertise qualification both in the specializations selected as well as the interdisciplinary areas such as the Internet of things (IoT), Industry 4.0, smart systems, smart grids and electromobility, the course includes many shared modules in addition to the core modules. In these shared modules there is a special emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects.
• The second semester of year one mainly includes optional modules and students have the opportunity to select their own specialization.
• The compulsory modules "Interdisciplinary IoT Project with Scientific Methods" and "Case Study in Control, Computer and Communications Engineering with Project Management" have what is called a 'problem-based learning' (PBL) structure.
• Here students work in interdisciplinary and intercultural groups to find solutions to current research questions from the fields of IoT, Industry 4.0, smart systems, smart grids and electromobility. This project work is complemented by seminars taught by THM teaching staff.
• The aims of these modules is to convey to students the interdisciplinary character of current and future research questions in electrical and computer engineering, and to find the proper balance of specialized knowledge as well as to strengthen harmonious collaboration in student groups.

• The Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) is a university of applied sciences with a strength in research and an extensive national and international network. Its research addresses current and future issues and challenges in society, the economy, technology and the environment and transforms them into innovative concepts.
• The high reputation of the research of THM is reflected in the long-standing research structures and cooperation agreements, the large number of active research staff and the strength of the upcoming generation of academics.
• To sharpen its research profile, THM has set up interdisciplinary centres of competence, the strengths of which lie particularly in applied research. The research groups in the centres of competence offer outstanding research opportunities to junior academics and provide opportunities to cooperate with colleagues at home and abroad and with business.
• The Centre for Research and Transfer (ZFT), founded in 2008, created the organisational framework for the centres of competence. It is responsible for the overall research strategy, administration of funding and research marketing.
• THM is working on the introduction of a research information system (Forschungsinformationssystem – FIS). The aim is to provide administrative support for research, to gather information and to make it available in an effective way. The following areas are covered in this context:
  Research projects
  Publications
  Junior academics
  Research reporting
• The motto is: record it once – use it many times. The information entered in the FIS can be used by research management and researchers for funding applications, publications, reports and fulfilment of statutory obligations.
• The FIS at THM is being developed under the statewide joint project HeFIS – Hessisches Forschungsinformationssystem (Hesse Research Information System) –together with other universities in Hesse.
