Megatrends are driving the world. Telecommunication is one such driver. It enables the technologies that are fundamental in many applications, devices, and business models. But telecommunication is itself subject to the pressure of rapid advances. The mission for digital wireless communication systems is to fulfil the growing needs for reliable connectivity.
Currently, the telecom industry is introducing fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. 5G is to be established as the main wireless platform for industry and society at large. With the three different service categories of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), ultrareliable and Low-latency Communications (uRLLC), and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), 5G will change the telecom industry.
The industrial sector is also undergoing a huge and related transformation with the digitalization of assets as part of the shift to Industry 4.0. To meet the resultant demand from industry for skilled 5G engineers, DADB and the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany, are organizing a winter semester in January 2024.
Offenburg is a lively and multicultural city in the heart of Europe and well known for its warmth and friendly culture. Located in the sunny south of Germany, with famous landmarks such as the Black Forest, the Rhine and the direct vicinity to Strasbourg, the city and its surroundings offer many sights.
Both campuses of Offenburg University combine proximity to the city centre and nature. The state-of-the-art laboratories offer studies that go far beyond theoretical foundations. Practical applications, often in cooperation with the regional economy, shape the daily study routine and ensure that the students have a knowledge edge.
Offenburg University offers excellent career opportunities for its students. They benefit directly, 93% of our graduates get a job within 3 months after graduation.
30 years of experience in the supervision of international students. The support services are designed to make your life as easy and pleasant as possible. Study matters, accommodation, joint leisure activities, The university has a lot to offer!
Implementation of the Winter University Program with 50 lessons of 45 minutes in 2 weeks (lectures and hands-on labs) with supervision by Prof. Dr. Axel Sikora and other professors from the Institute for Reliable Embedded Systems and Communication Electronics.

Credit system
Professor Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora holds a diploma of Electrical Engineering (Dipl.-Ing./M.Sc.) and a diploma of Business Administration (Dipl. Wirt.-Ing./MBA), both from Aachen Technical University.
He has done a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the Fraunhofer Institute of Microelectronics Circuits and Systems, Duisburg, with a thesis on SOI-technologies. After various positions in the telecommunications and semiconductor industry, he became a professor at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University Loerrach in 1999. In 2011, he joined Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, where he leads the Institute of Reliable Embedded Systems and Communication Electronics (ivESK). Since 2016, he is also deputy member of the board and head of the “Software Solutions” division at Hahn-Schickard Association of Applied Research (Germany), one of the leading institute around Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for Industry 4.0 applications in Germany. In 2002, he also founded the Steinbeis Transfer Center Embedded Design and Networking, which was successfully spun off as STACKFORCE GmbH in 2014.
His major interest is in the system development of efficient, energy-aware, autonomous, secure, and value-added algorithms and protocols for wired and wireless embedded communication.
Dr. Sikora is author, co-author, editor and co-editor of several textbooks and more than one two hundred peer-reviewed papers in the field of embedded design and wireless and wired networking. Amongst many other duties, he serves as Chairman of the Steering Board of the annual embedded world Conference, the world’s largest event on this topic.
