Successful studying from the very beginning!
Getting Started at the department Electrical Engineering and Information Technology offers students professional support and guidance in their individual course of study if the standard period of study is extended by two semesters.
Are you interested in challenging topics such as the energy transition, robotics, the Internet of Things, or embedded systems?
Would you like to contribute to the sustainable transformation of our industrial society?
But you have doubts about your ability to successfully complete a degree in electrical and information engineering?
By spreading out the basic studies by two semesters, you can, for example, compensate for gaps in your prior subject knowledge or make up for missing practical experience. You will be supported in this through tutorials, personal advising, mentoring, supervised practical projects, and exam preparation.
Having more time alongside your studies allows you to better balance leisure and family responsibilities. Even if you rely on BAföG (German student financial aid) and need to work, Getting Started could be just what you're looking for. Two additional semesters eligible for BAföG funding allow you to study with less pressure.
With Getting Started, you can tailor your start to your studies! Find out more, contact us – we'd be happy to take the time for you!
