Your Engineering Focus – Your Choice
Start in English. Grow in Germany
Benefits for international students: As the program starts in English, many international applicants who do not have good German skills can start their engineering studies on this program. In the 6th semester there is a choice to continue in English or to switch to German.
German training is a vital component of the curriculum, not just during but also between the semesters in the form of three-week intensive courses. A two-week intensive language and culture program directly before the start of the first semester provides a valuable start to learning German and helps new international students settle in.
Real Impact. Real Careers.
Graduates of international engineering are highly sought after in many areas. Engineers are irreplaceable, now and in the future. With a broad range of knowledge, from the fields of mechanical, electrical and process engineering, they are ideally suited to work in modern multidisciplinary environments and contribute to their companies' goals. You can work in important areas such as mobility, sustainable use of our resources or intelligent networked and secure production systems.
The roles vary, including technical development, project management, production and sales. Many pursue careers in management.
You do not have to make a decision about what you want to do. You will have the opportunity to get to know a range of companies and areas of work so that you can see what lies ahead.
