What is it about?
Help shape the future of modern mobility. In our dual degree programme „Railway Power Supply and Overhead Contact Lines“ you combine electrical and engineering expertise with hands-on experience in railway infrastructure.
You learn how electrical energy for rail traffic is planned, distributed and reliably supplied, and how contact line and power systems work and are developed further within the complex rail network.
With the Bachelor of Engineering you qualify for responsible tasks in the planning, construction and operation of railway power and contact line systems – working on a key piece of future infrastructure.
