Students may choose to attend classes face-to-face only, online only, or change between these modes at any time but need to attend 75% in order to get a participation certificate.
The course is geared towards students and applicants with a B1+/B2 or higher level of German who would like to study engineering (automation, materials science, electrical, and computer engineering).
Discover the work of engineers, learn technical terminology, and experience practical usage: these are the goals of our course "German for technicians and engineers".
Students and applicants of technical programmes will get to know the various fields of work of engineers. This course is a multidisciplinary approach to the language of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and mechanics.
The training focuses on language-related difficulties that students often experience when starting a technical study programme in Germany. Our experienced teachers help students to gain the necessary technical vocabulary (at a high level) for studying automation, electrical and computer engineering, and materials science. They teach our participants how to explain their solutions to typical study-related tasks in German. A range of topics are covered (explanation of technical processes, organic and inorganic materials, calculation with formula in German). Additionally, to improve their practical understanding, course participants will be introduced to technical processes in the fields of automobile construction, communication, and the production of consumer goods. Our excursions to local production companies are an integrated part of the course. These excursions help students to experience the work of engineers in real life.
Approx. 16 participants per course

LEARNING LANGUAGES IN THE 21ST CENTURY THE BERLIN WAY
Technische Hochschule Wildau – Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (TH Wildau) is one of four universities of applied sciences in the state of Brandenburg. By combining the familiarity of a small, compact campus with its proximity to the international metropolis of Berlin, TH Wildau offers the best of both worlds.
A modern campus university on Berlin's doorstep
The university opened its doors in 1991 with just 17 students in the mechanical engineering degree programme. Today, there are around 3,300 students, ensuring that TH Wildau keeps its familiar atmosphere. On a modern campus with a direct rail connection to Berlin, aspiring academics enjoy an ideal environment for their studies in a range of disciplines covering the natural sciences, engineering, economics, law, business administration, and management.
Practical and application-oriented
The practical orientation of the degree programmes is one of the distinctive characteristics of TH Wildau. Students can carry out practical exercises and experiments with top-quality laboratory and computer technology. An optimal study environment allows creativity and enthusiasm for research to flourish.
The Institut für Internationale Kommunikation e.V. (IIK) is a non-profit organisation located in Berlin (and Düsseldorf) that promotes international exchange. The IIK's focus lies on developing participants' languages skills for either academic or professional purposes.

Wildau
TH Wildau is a campus university. The teaching and administration buildings, dining room, and library are all located on an interconnected site by the Wildau S-Bahn train station, with direct access to Berlin. Therefore, studying in Wildau is exceptionally convenient because you don't have any long journeys between classes.
Modern infrastructure with tradition
The campus is located on a historic industrial and manufacturing site. Where once locomotives were built in vast production halls, today people study, teach, and research. Some of the teaching and laboratory facilities of the TH Wildau are housed within these historic walls, while others are housed in new buildings. This extraordinary mix of old and new continues to attract students and visitors with a passion for architecture.
Berlin
As the multicultural capital city with 3.5 million inhabitants, Berlin stands out not only as the centre of German politics but also as a world-renowned hub of culture, complex historic events, fashion, clubbing, and creativity. Berlin is home to numerous secondary schools and educational institutions, making it the perfect city in which to live and study.
German courses take place in Berlin Mitte, the central district of the city. The classrooms are located in the former factory complex that used to house Osram, a German company famous for all kinds of light bulbs. Around the historic building, you will find a vibrant neighbourhood with numerous cafés and restaurants where you can eat good and cheap meals.
