Incomings - Exchange studies at the School of Engineering

Exchange students can choose from a wide range of English-language courses and projects. They are generally entitled to participate in English-language courses in all engineering degree programmes if they meet the requirements for course participation. Please refer to the module description of the respective course for the necessary prerequisites and restrictions. If they have sufficient German language skills, exchange students can also participate in engineering courses taught in German.
