The degree programme is divided into two parts: basic studies lasting three semesters with a common first semester (language of instruction: English), and main studies from the fourth semester onwards (language of instruction: German) with a practical sixth semester and a Bachelor's thesis concluding your studies in the eighth semester.

The modular basic studies will teach you engineering fundamentals, but it will also keep the study programme flexible. Start your studies, get to know the topics on-site, and decide on your specialisation later. 

During the first three semesters, you will acquire German language skills as well, starting with level A2 of CEFR. This will enable you to seamlessly change into the German-taught main study course after the third semester.

After having completed the basic studies, you will be sufficiently prepared to change into the main study course. You will study alongside German students in one of the seven specialisations the programme has to offer. The sixth semester is reserved for a practical semester in one of the many regional German companies or in a company abroad. In the eighth semester, you will get to work on your Bachelor's thesis.

The sixth semester is reserved for a practical semester / internship in one of the many local companies in Germany or in a company abroad.

After having gained experience in German and English, you will benefit from both language skills not only in an international internship setting but also in a local one. At the same time, you will start networking with possible employers and gain valuable knowledge to build your career on. An internship sometimes even leads to a job offer after graduation.

A general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification is sufficient to qualify for the study programme. Check whether you are eligible to apply at the DAAD database on admission requirements. 

More detailed information on the admission requirements is available at the course website.
