Auskunftsformular on tuition fees

All documents must be written in English or have been translated into English.

Every admission year is different  Admission depends on the quantity and quality of all applications. Our admissions committee focuses on your maths and physics grades. The better your grades, the better your chances of admission.

We need either  TOEFL with a minimum of 88, an IELTS with a minimum of 6.5 or an OTE with a minimum of 130.

Age We highly recommend that you are at least 18 years old when you start your studies. Everyday business, such as opening a bank account or renting a room, is very difficult for underage people.

No, but you could provide your SAT or ACT score report to support your application. Also if you won`t receive your final school leaving certificate or required university transcript within our application deadline. Please submit your score report together with your complete application.

Our campus portal is open for applications from 15 April. The sooner you register and upload your documents, the sooner they can be reviewed by our admissions committee. We will contact you if we need additional documents or information. Don't wait until the last minute - the closing date for applications is 31 July. We recommend that you apply no later than 15 May for international students (for visa reasons) and no later than 15 July for EU applicants and those who do not yet live in the Mannheim area (for student accommodation reasons). EU citizens with an EU passport can apply with their most recent intermediate report or grade 12 winter semester certificate. They must then submit their final university entrance qualification by 31 July.

Sorry, no. We need your final grades.

You can, but you do not have to. You choose your focus in your third semester.

Our Electrical Engineering Bachelor programme (EEB) offers 30 places every winter semester.

Once you have created an account in our Campus portal and submitted your online application you can check your application status in the Campus portal.

Our admissions committee reviews applications on an ongoing basis. You will hear from us if your application has been successful 1-2 weeks after submitting your application via the Campus portal.

If we have not been able to offer you a place, you will also see this in the Campus portal.

If you are accepted onto the program, you will find our offer on a study place in the Campus portal, also you can download the admission letter directly from the portal. You must accept your place within 14 days  by requesting enrollment via our Campus portal. Additionally you will receive accompanying documents (e.g. embassy letter for non-EU applicants)  by email.

As an international student, you will need a student visa. The visa process can take several months, so we recommend applying for a visa as soon as possible. With most embassies/consulates, you can book an appointment to apply for a visa before receiving your admission letter. However, you will definitely need your admission letter at the appointment. Our admission documents are valid for Technische Hochschule Mannheim; your study visa must be issued for Technische Hochschule Mannheim. To commence the programme, you must be at the university from day one (1 September).

We start the first year in English and therefore have a sufficient level of English as one of the admission requirements. However, we recommend that you study German to at least level A2 to get off to a good start in Germany. The more German you have when you arrive, the easier your first year will be when we combine our technical classes with intensive German language courses. From the third semester onwards all lectures will be in German only! Note that some embassies require a certain level of German for visa purposes, so check well in advance.

Our German courses are part of our Electrical Engineering Bachelor programme and therefore covered by the tuition fees.

Sorry, not for first year students. From the third semester onwards, there are various opportunities with different organisations, including teaching jobs within our department.

In general, yes, if the employment office allows it. However, you must bear in mind that the workload in the first semesters is immense due to the combination of technical lectures and intensive German language courses. Laboratory courses are also compulsory at our university.

By applying within our regular application deadline. For our EEB programme you can only start in the winter semester and the first semester.

Credit transfer can only be discussed after enrollment. Contact the course leader (Prof. Effler) to arrange an appointment. He will start the process with you. 
Please note that if you're from a country that requires prior study semesters, this is part of your university entrance qualification and cannot be taken into account.

No, in EEB we only admit into the first semester. You may check out our ETB programme. This is taught in German and requires German at DSH2 level.

Online application for student accommodation can be done as early as 4 months before start of the winter semester, that´s from 01 May onwards. You can apply with Studierendenwerk Mannheim already before having received admission for EEB yet. Your application for housing is not binding and can be cancelled at any time. Early housing application will increase your chances in getting a place in student accommodation with Studierendenwerk Mannheim. Apply for student housing with Studierendenwerk Mannheim on https://www.stw-ma.de/en/housing/

Students in Mannheim can expect to spend an average of €700-800 per month (including rent for student accommodation, national health insurance, semester ticket and food). There are also administrative fees and tuition fees for non-EU students per semester. One option to cover your living expenses is to use a blocked account. You will need the blocked account to apply for the visa anyway.
