“Since winter semester 2017/18, international students who are not citizens of an EU/EEA country and who are taking up or switching to a Bachelor's, a consecutive Master's or a state examination study program have to pay a tuition fee of EUR 1,500.00 per semester . Additionally the regular semester fee of currently EUR 184.00 has to be payed.”

Baden-Württemberg's tuition for non-EU students under the Landeshochschulgebührengesetz, charged every semester from the first one and collected with the 184.00 EUR semester fee through C@MPUS, so a non-EU student pays 1,684.00 EUR per semester. This is a consecutive master's programme, so the fee applies. Exempt without an application: EU/EEA citizens, non-German students with a German university entrance qualification, students on a continuing-education master's or a doctorate, and some exchange and double-degree students. Exceptions for strong ties to Germany (settlement permit, recognised refugee, five years of legal work in Germany, a parent who worked three of the last six years in Germany, a bachelor's and a master's completed in Germany) must be applied for after the place has been accepted and the fee notice received. A bachelor's earned in Germany alone is explicitly not an exemption.

No cap on places is published: § 4 of the admission regulations only says that if the number of places is limited it follows Baden-Württemberg's Zulassungszahlenverordnung. Admission depends on a scored assessment of academic suitability (0-120 points) with a single threshold of 76 points, so the programme is recorded as a selection procedure.

Six semesters, i.e. three years, is the floor, so a three-year 180-ECTS bachelor's degree qualifies; the admissions committee decides whether a foreign degree is equivalent.
- Subject background
- A degree from a bachelor's programme of at least six semesters (or an equivalent degree) in electrical engineering and information technology or a closely related programme, with qualifying examination results, from a German or a foreign university, and the competences the programme requires. The programme page adds that applicants need a degree in electrical engineering, information technology or a related field and the ability to work and learn independently.

A letter confirming that the bachelor's degree was taught in English is explicitly refused, and the only exemption is citizenship plus education in one of the listed majority native English-speaking countries. India, Nigeria and Pakistan are not on that list, so applicants from these countries always need one of the accepted test certificates.
- Rules that name these countries
- India: Applicants with educational credentials from India must upload a certificate from the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS) at the German embassy with their application in C@MPUS.
