The degree programs at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology received top feedback in Germany’s largest university ranking.
The current CHE ranking confirms that the Bachelor’s degree programmes in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (with and without an orientation semester) and Computer Engineering are of an excellent standard. Support at the start of studies is rated particularly highly, achieving an impressive result of 15 out of 16 points. According to student feedback, they find the facilities and organisation of their studies excellent. The ranking results show that students preparing to study abroad have very positive experiences with support. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology received positive ratings in the fact check with regard to doctorates per professor and third-party funding per researcher. This indicates a clear focus on science. Students also express above-average satisfaction with the introduction to scientific work.
Once the field of study has been chosen, the question of which university to attend may arise. In addition to the professors’ assessment and the fact-check, this ranking includes first-hand assessments from students for prospective students.
Some of the questions that were rated on a scale of one to five stars were: ‘How broad is the content of the degree programme?’, ‘Can compulsory courses be attended without overlapping?’, and ‘Are the PCs up to date or old-fashioned?’
The CHE ranking is the most comprehensive university ranking in the German-speaking world. More than 300 universities were analysed, and over 120,000 students took part in a survey. Individual universities are compared with each other based on various criteria for each subject, and are then categorised into top, middle or bottom groups. RWTH was ranked in the top group a total of 97 times.
Each subject is analysed every three years. The results for the individual subjects are available at the website CHE Ranking 2025: The Big University Ranking.
