»When choosing our course of studies, we are in a period of big changes in which we are really building our identities. In some ways, we are making our first big responsible choices and this will mean for most of us, to leave our family. Of course, when I first decided to come here, at eighteen years old, I couldn´t know if this would still be the right choice after some months or years. But now, when I ask myself whether what I do reflects my initial expectations and whether these expectations are congruous with my needs, after having met and seen so many senior students doing such enviable work and projects thanks to this study course and after having been engaged myself a little in all this, the answer is: yes, I´m sure I made the right choice!«

»One of the greatest moments in my life is being able to study and live in Germany. Especially living here in Mannheim is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Experiencing a new culture and the beautiful sights and buildings in Mannheim is one reason why I love living here. Mannheim is a very student type of place where you are surrounded by international people from all over the world. Being part of a very friendly group of international students, the citizen of Mannheim and also the staff from Hochschule Mannheim has made everything so smooth upon arriving in Germany and settling in. Studying at Hochschule Mannheim is very good because of its concept of high practical relevance and all the friendly and well trained professors. My German language has tremendously improved after coming here, I learn how to pick up the language very fast. I enjoy every bit on how the lectures are being taught and all the cool stuff that the Hochschule lets us do, such as programming or doing electrical boards in lab sessions. I highly recommend to come and enjoy being part of this fantastic journey Hochschule Mannheim has installed for you!«

»‌The small number of students in a lecture at Hochschule Mannheim definitely helps a lot in having a better understanding of the courses since we have more attention from the professors and since there is more room for open discussions. On top of that, people in Germany are warm- welcoming and we are provided with all the materials needed in order to go through the programme efficiently. My choice of Hochschule Mannheim instead of a regular university has unquestionably been a huge step towards fulfilling my own ambitions.«

»Yes, I am German and yes, I am studying my first two semesters in English. Why? Well, one of my professors always says “why not?”, so why not? But to be honest I was scared at the beginning. Starting studying is a whole new chapter in your life. And how do you face the unknown? You jump head first into it! I met some amazing people, with heart-touching personalities, from all over the world and I know that together we will survive the next three and a half years.«

»Towards the end of my schooltime, the question arose what I would like to do after finishing school my original answer was international business. Then, my school offered me the chance to visit a workshop to help deciding on a course of study. Throughout this workshop I realized that technology is the branch of study I would like to choose, “something with programming, mathematics, physics, ...” Therefore, I started to inform myself about different technical courses of study. Important for me was to find something that connects a practical aspect with my interest in the English language. As a result of this research, I found the course Electrical Engineering – Automation Technology as an international program. Eventually both wishes were fulfilled. On the one hand the practical aspect is satisfied by labs and an internship in industry. On the other hand, there is English as the main language in the lectures of the international program during the foundation course. Additionally, the same course also exists as a German course of study with German as the main language.«

»I came to Germany right after turning eighteen without knowing any German or anyone who might help me with moving in or the bureaucracy. I cannot describe the anxiety I felt the days before my flight. But as soon as I arrived at the university, a bunch of people surrounded me and the other new international students, providing all of the help we needed and even more. As the days went by, several welcome activities offered by Hochschule Mannheim helped us to learn more and more about each other and to gain an overall sense of belonging.«
