Information for Incomings

Every year, the Faculty of Engineering welcomes engineering students from all over the world. Both the professional and intercultural exchange are most valuable for our students and our academic staff. Together, we seek to establish a learning environment that complements our strengths: interdisciplinarity, on-site learning and teaching as well as strong industry links.

The Faculty of Engineering offers Bachelor and Master programmes in the following fields:

  • Automotive Systems Engineering
  • Electrical Systems Engineering
  • Engineering Informatics
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Mechatronics and Robotics
  • Production and Process Management (Manufacturing and Operations Management)
  • Environmental and Process Engineering

As an exchange student, you can select courses throughout the whole faculty. Furthermore, lectures from other faculties can be chosen upon agreement. The language of teaching is German. However, a varying range of courses is offered in English, amounting to 30 ECTS per semester.

As a degree seeking student you run the same curriculum as any other student at our university.
