International Students

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering maintains many international partnerships and welcomes international students from many parts of the world.

Bachelor’s and master’s programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology:

The language of instruction for these degree programmes is German.

Bachelor’s programmes in Mechatronik (German) and Mechatronics (English):

These degree programmes are managed by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in cooperation with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

Apart from the language of instruction, the two degree programmes are identical.

If a certain number of courses are completed in a different language, students will receive the TWIN Certificate.

We also welcome many guest students from various countries who partake in our degree programmes for one or two semesters.

Courses in German

You are currently studying at a different university and wish to study in German at our university for one or two semesters? We are looking forward to meet you as an exchange student.

We have entered into ERASMUS agreements with many universities. If your university is not found in the list, you could also apply as a “Free Mover”. If there are still places available, you can also come to us without further ado.

Please note that the courses take place in annual intervals, i. e. the sessions marked with odd semester numbers take place during the winter semesters, while sessions marked with even semester numbers take place during the summer semester. For the main group modules H.xx, not all of them may always take place. Thus, we recommend to send us a learning agreement so we can check the availability of the desired courses.

 

Courses in English

You are currently studying at a different university and wish to study (if possible: in English) at our university for one or two semesters? We are looking forward to welcome you as an exchange student.

The courses of the degree programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology are only available in German. However, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering offers courses in English for the degree programmes Mechatronics and Business and Engineering. Please check what these two degree programmes have to offer. Thanks to Mechatronics and Business and Engineering, we are still able to offer exchange semesters at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. All you need to do is the check whether your home university will recognise the courses we offer. In case of Mechatronik (German), it is easy, as we offer the TWIN Programme Mechatronics.

Please note that here as well the courses are given in annual intervals, i. e. the sessions marked with odd semester numbers take place during the winter semesters, while sessions marked with even semester numbers take place during the summer semester. Thus, we recommend to send us a learning agreement immediately so we can check the availability of the desired courses.

We have entered into ERASMUS agreements with many universities. If your university is not found in the list, you could also apply as a “Free Mover”. If there are still places available, you can also come to us without further ado. Please find further information on the website of the FHWS International Office: Incoming Exchange Students.
