We offer a three- and a four-semester variant, depending on your qualification. Students holding a Bachelor's of 180 ECTS equivalent qualify for the four-semester variant, and students holding a Bachelor's with 210 ECTS qualify for the three-semester variant.

Applicants from India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam with a four-years Bachelor's degree should apply for four-semester variant only.

Each semester comprises five modules, each with 6 ECTS credits. A workload of 30 hours corresponds to 1 ECTS credit.

Hours per week represent contact hours in classes, seminars or laboratories. Each contact hour equals 45 minutes. Additionally, for each contact hour, students are expected to allocate two hours for self-paced studies. Credits indicate student workload according to ECTS standards. The course of study comprises two categories of modules:

• Engineering modules: selected to define the individual profiles
• Economics and language modules: relevant for all course profiles

In general, the modules comprise lectures with integrated exercises in small groups, seminars, laboratory work and projects/case studies. Assessments usually take place throughout the semester, accompanying lab exercises, seminar talks and home assignments. Usually, an additional written or oral exam takes place at the end of each semester.

A thesis with workload of 30 credits comprises 22 weeks of work as well as written documentation and a defence.

Structure of the course of studies in the three-semester variant:

• first semester, 20 contact hours/week: 30 credits
• second semester, 20 contact hours/week: 30 credits
• thesis semester: 30 credits

For the two semesters of teaching, the workload of 60 credits is distributed as follows:

• engineering modules – 48 credits
• economics and language modules – 12 credits

Structure of the course of studies in the four-semester variant:

Depending of your study background, additional first semester content develops your practical and writing skills with a high amount of hands-on lab work, and a beginners course to German language, OR completes your three-years Bachelor's with additional technical courses regarding advanced programming and data visualisation. The second and third semesters are identical to the first two semesters of the three-semester variant.
