In the first two semesters of the interdisciplinary study programme, the general basics of engineering (e.g. mathematics, physics, computer science and chemistry) will be taught in English. At the same time, attaining DSH2 (German C1) is another key objective. Lectures are taught in German from the third semester onwards.
The application deadline is 30 September each academic year.
The study programme "Science and Engineering" provides an interdisciplinary introduction to three fields of engineering: Applied Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Food Technology. Students are familiarised with different subject disciplines and acquire foundational skills. Afterwards, students specialise in one of the above areas. Linguistic, intercultural, social, and cultural skills are taught in addition to subject-related course work.
The study programme is international in design: in the first two semesters, the courses are conducted in English. German skills at the level of the DSH examination are acquired during the first three semesters. Students with German skills at the DSH2 level acquire similar skills in foreign languages.
Students will acquire a competency for the planning, execution, and analysis of technical projects as well as working independently in scientific fields, specifically in focus areas such as applied computer science, electrical engineering, and food technology. Besides giving a quick start to working life, there is also the opportunity to enter a Master's programme.
How is the programme structured?
In the first two semesters of the interdisciplinary study programme, the general basics of engineering (e.g. mathematics, physics, computer science, and chemistry) will be taught in English. At the same time, learning German to the level of the DSH examination is another key objective. Tuition is provided in German as of the start of the third semester.
The initial orientation module makes it easier for you to choose a specialisation at the start of the third semester. This module provides an introduction to the key contents of the three speciality majors.
A module in which international students acquire skills in the field of German law and society could be helpful in facilitating your integration in Germany.
Depending on your chosen specialisation, you will acquire a Bachelor of Science (BSc) or a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree.
