Exchange students
Welcome to the department Architecture and Civil Engineering!
We are pleased that you are interested in spending your semester abroad at the THM in our department.
International experiences and intercultural understanding are key elements in a growing global economy. Therefore your studies at THM will not only give you the opportunity to enlarge your expertise in Civil Engineering or Architecture, but will also allow you to improve your language skills and to develop your social skills to upgrade your value at the job market. We welcome international students every semester to study with our local students.
Would you like to get a first impression of what is waiting for you? Click here for Gießen impressions.
Our exchange programme is open to students from our Partner Universities who wish to complete one or two semesters at THM.
We would like to explicitly point out that the lectures are offered in German. You should therefore have sufficient knowledge of German.
However, we want you to have a great time in Germany and would like to inform you about available options. As an alternative to your chosen subjects, we offer some courses in English or with English support. These courses will only be offered if enough students are interested.
