The aim of the laboratory exercises is to deepen the theoretical content of the lectures in the corresponding subject area and to make it tangible through practical exercises. In addition, the laboratory offers the possibility of working on applied research projects as part of project work or final theses.

The Telecommunications Engineering Laboratory is offered to students of the Bachelor courses EI and EIplus of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in the 6th or 7th semester, provided they have chosen the focus Communication Technology.  
 
Furthermore, practical project exercises are offered for students of the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EIM) in the field of communication technology in the second semester as part of the course "Wireless Communications with Laboratory".
