The Platforms for Information Technology (PIT) module cluster integrates computing and communication systems, combining theory with practical challenges in a 30 ECTS package. Designed for Master’s students—especially international and ERASMUS students—it offers English-language instruction and flexible formats, including in-person and remote learning. Depending on the course, remote options include live streams, Jupyter Notebooks, and AI-based study support. Jointly developed by Institute of Computer and Network Engineering and Institute for Communications Technology at TU Braunschweig, PIT prepares students to be the engineers of the future for real-world applications in modern IT systems.
The PIT (Platforms for Information Technology) module cluster bridges advanced topics in computation and communication, providing a comprehensive foundation in both domains. The students chose 15 ECTS from each of the below categories.
Throughout the module cluster, students develop essential engineering competencies such as analytical reasoning, abstraction, and system-level integration. They acquire the ability to design, model, and evaluate complex computing and communication systems by combining theoretical knowledge with practical implementation.
