It will take you four semesters to study AIMS if you finish everything in time. This comprises one semester in Coburg at the Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts (CUASA), one semester in Italy at the University of Siena or in Shanghai at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) and a practical internship in Germany for international students and abroad for German students. The last semester is dedicated to the Master's thesis.
You will attend lectures, but you will also gain hands-on experience through lab experiments. Throughout the semester, you will get the chance to work on your own project and take a look at the newest applications in industry.

International students must spend one semester at one of our partner universities in Siena or in Shanghai and at least one year in Germany. German students have to complete one semester in Coburg and one semester of coursework as well as the practical internship abroad. German students can do the Master's thesis in Germany or abroad. International students should do the thesis in Germany, but it's possible to work on the thesis another European country, too.
One of the biggest benefits of the AIMS programme is the internship. It takes at least 12 weeks, but it can also be extended. Often it is the first step of your career in Germany. Students may take advantage of our well-developed network with companies in order to find an appropriate placement.
