Since the embedded system is dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the product, or increasing the reliability and performance. Physically embedded systems range from portable devices such as digital watches and MP3 players to large stationary installations like traffic lights, factory controllers or the systems controlling power plants. Transportation systems from flight to automobiles increasingly use embedded systems. New airplanes contain advanced avionics such as inertial guidance systems and GPS receivers. Various electric motors are using electric/electronic motor controllers. Automobiles, electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles are increasingly using embedded systems to maximize efficiency and reduce pollution. Other automotive safety systems are e.g. anti-lock braking systems, electronic stability control, and automatic fourwheel drive. Medical equipment is continuing to advance with more embedded systems for vital signs monitoring, electronic stethoscopes for amplifying sounds, and various medical imaging for non-invasive internal inspections. Embedded systems are designed to do some specific task, rather than be a general-purpose computer for multiple tasks. Some also have real-time performance constraints that must be met, for reasons such as safety and usability; others may have low or no performance requirements, allowing the system hardware to be simplified to reduce costs.
The demand for the most efficient integrated solution requires simultaneous optimization of passive devices and analogue circuits, as well as the computational structures used to implement the digital processing.
With its long tradition in electrical, information and communication programs, Universität Karlsruhe (TH) provides an ideal environment. Building on the longestablished reputation for excellence in business engineering, our master program combines an in-depth knowledge and understanding of fundamental concepts in business, finance and management with the latest developments in Integrated Circuit and Systems Technology. Graduates of our program receive an interdisciplinary education and are qualified "System Architects" that can efficiently combine engineering and economic skills.

- Appropriate qualification for university entrance: Bachelor, Master, Diplom-FH, Diplom Univ., Diplom BA, Maîtrise, D.E.A. etc.; The first degree should be in the field of engineering, natural sciences, information science or economics. In exceptional circumstances other degrees may be accepted.
- Job Experience: At least three years of work or practical experience in the specific field of the course. References are needed as evidence of this.
- TOEFL Test: Evidence of an adequate knowledge of the English language is required, this is normally in the form of TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language). This is not relevant for native speakers.
- TOEIC Test: The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) measures the proficiency of non-native English-speaking examinees to use English in everyday workplace activities. The TOEIC test is a two-hour multiple-choice test divided into listening and reading comprehension.
- HECTOR Program Director Interview: In a 30-minute interview you are ask to demonstrate your theoretical know-how and professional experience in the field. This interview will either take place at the HECTOR School in Karlsruhe, or through a telefone interview for international applicants.
- HECTOR School Interview: A 45-minute interview follows immediately, you are asked to present your motivation to follow this master program.
- OPTIONAL: A GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) or GRE (Graduate Record Examination) test is accepted and depends on the first degree. For the GMAT at least 600 points are required and for the GRE the student must have scored 4.5 in "analytical writing" and 600 points in both the "quantitative" and "analytical writing" sections.
Additional Requirements
| Minimal degree required: | Bachelor's degree |
| Minimal amount of work experience | 3 years |
Language Proficiency
| TOEFL Internet-based: | 100 |

Industry Scholarships
At the International Department we believe that it is beneficial for all course participants to have close working relationships with exceptional German and international companies. The International Department can aid its participants in establishing these relationships as it is in the unique position of having top-level executives from leading German companies on its Board of Directors. Relationships can also be established as participants are sponsored by a range of international companies. It is expected that the majority of the Executive Master participants will be corporately sponsored either partly or fully. Therefore, in order to assist candidates in their application for sponsorship we have developed a business case for studying an Executive Master of Science at the Hector School.
HECTOR School Scholarships
The International Department also offers a very limited number of scholarships, covering full or part tuition costs. This is an outstanding opportunity for exceptional candidates who wish to be self-subsidised. It is essential that scholarship applicants are likely to be among the best on the course and have high potential for success after completing the program and leaving the Hector School.
