Since winter term 2002, the Faculty of Engineering offers a collection of interesting, internationally-oriented Bachelor/Master degree courses within its program “International Studies in Engineering” (ISE).

The structure of the ISE Program is designed in line with the actual education and labour market. Subjects of international relevance will be offered in disciplinary Bachelor and Master Degree courses designed by the respective departments. Apart from these disciplinary degree courses, a wide range of interdisciplinary Bachelor and Master Degree courses of special attractiveness is offered.

The Bachelor/Master courses are continuously enhanced in order to cover a wider spectrum of engineering disciplines. The international orientation is realized by:

  • Lectures offered in German and English language of instruction (50% of the lectures in German, 50% in English),
  • At least one semester abroad, mandatory for all German students (to spend at a partner university or a company),
  • Strong liaison with international partner universities,
  • Credit point system, and
  • Living and studying in a multicultural environment.

The first year of bachelor studies is identical for all degree courses. During the first year, the language of instruction for all Bachelor degree courses is 100% in English. The overall distribution of language of instruction during the 3 years of the program is 50% in English and 50% in German, with a minimum level of B1 as German language requirement at registration. The basic principles of engineering and science will be taught on a broad basis.

In addition, the students will study in a multicultural environment and will be integrated into research and team work projects to complement advanced courses in a variety of areas. The ISE program corresponds to global market conditions and was designed to match the job requirements for graduates. It particularly offers subjects of specific international relevance. Apart from the technical qualification, the linguistic and cultural aspects offer special ad-vantages for graduates in the global job market and qualify them for responsible positions in international companies.
