International program At the Department of Electrical Engineering the international bachelor programme Electrical Engineering (EEB) is a bilingual programme. You can study the first two semesters in English. Thus, if you do not have sufficient German yet, you can start your studies in English, combined with intensive German language classes. German students may also choose to study the English programme in order to improve their English language skills. From the third semester, all courses are in German. Graduates are awarded a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.).
Intensive language training runs parallel to the engineering programme and during semester breaks, giving you the best study support possible.
EEB is a Bilingual programme
| Benefits for English students |

Beginning of study without German possible This course can also be taken if the German Language Examination for University Entrance of Foreign Applicants (DSH) has not yet been taken. This is made possible by German courses integrated into the regular study plan. Mandatory German courses take place both during the lecture-free period and during the semester.
| Benefits for German students |

Advantage language competence English competence is a highly sought-after skill in the engineering sector, and German students can gain vital experience by studying in English for their first year. German native speakers need to choose technical English and another non-engineering elective. Students acquire intercultural competences. In an increasingly globalised world, this is an important additional qualification.
| Basic knowledge in German highly recommended |
|---|
Even though no German is required to start in the EEB programme, it is highly recommended to bring at least a basic level of German for a good start in Germany. This will significantly increase your success in the programme and has proven extremely helpful in everyday life. We recommend an A2 level when starting with us. You will receive guidance on learning German on your own before coming to Germany from our German coordinator.
| German courses |
|---|
German courses are included in the first two semesters. A fully integrated language programme is offered in parallel to the technical courses, bringing you all the way to a DSH2 level.
| Advanced study in German |
|---|
After the second semester, international students need to have reached a certain level of German before proceeding to the third semester, when all lectures and seminars are conducted in German. The students of the EEB and ETB programmes share the lectures and seminars from the third semester onwards. This provides the opportunity to further improve German language skills.
