10 Advantages of the qualification "Electrical Engineer HF" (formerly "Technician HF Electrical Engineering")

Electrical engineers HF (formerly technicians HF in electrical engineering) are sought-after specialists and can profitably apply the skills acquired during their studies in their day-to-day work.

Summary of the most important advantages of the Electrical Engineering HF degree program:

  1. The "Electrical Engineering HF" course is recognized by SERI (State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation) and leads to the federally recognized and protected title of "Electrical Engineer HF" (formerly "Technician HF Electrical Engineering")
  2. The course is open to anyone with an apprenticeship qualification in an electrical engineering, electrical installation, electronics, telematics or IT profession
  3. A school-leaving certificate or vocational baccalaureate is not required for admission to the course; at least two years of relevant professional experience since completing an apprenticeship is sufficient
  4. The part-time courses last 6 to 7 semesters and allow you to continue working in your current profession. There are also full-time courses that allow students to obtain their diploma in just two years.
  5. Some schools also offer shortened part-time courses for people with a technical vocational baccalaureate.
  6. The course can be completed in a generalist version or in a specialization such as electronics or energy technology.
  7. There are technical colleges throughout Switzerland that offer the electrical engineering HF course. This means that it is possible to complete the course within easy reach in almost all areas of Switzerland.
  8. Degree courses at universities of applied sciences are recognized by the federal government and tuition fees are subsidized by the student's canton of residence, which significantly reduces the cost of education.
  9. With a diploma from a higher technical college for electrical engineering, it is possible to transfer to a Bachelor's degree course in electrical engineering at a university of applied sciences.
  10. The future prospects for electrical engineers HF (formerly technicians HF electrical engineering) are very good, as this industry is also suffering from an increasing shortage of skilled workers. In addition, many new sectors and developments such as solar technology, smart grids and the Internet of Things (IOT) are opening up attractive new fields of work for specialists in energy technology, electrical engineering and electronics.
