Step into German Engineering

Are you dreaming of a technical career in Germany and want to prepare ideally? Discover the Bilingual Electrical Engineering Program at THM. Our bilingual study program includes the following benefits compared to the German language equivalent:

• Duration: 9 semesters (one extra year for relaxed start and smooth language integration)
• Study your first 4 semesters in English
• Learn German in parallel – without extra fees
• Switch to German-taught courses after 4 semesters 

You will graduate with a fully recognized German Bachelor’s Degree (B. Eng.). With your German language and technical skills you will be perfectly prepared for a job in a German company!

 Study Program

• All graded courses from the first 4 semesters are taught and examined in English.
• Language courses at levels B2 and C1 (Deutschkurs) are offered to prepare for your certified C1 German language exam.
• The AddOns are held in German together with students from German degree programs. They are individually selected for you based on your previous knowledge and support needs. Participation is mandatory, but the AddOns will not be graded. AddOns are, for example:
  • Tech AddOns: preparation / deepening / repetition e.g. for Electrical Engineering 1/2, Mathematics 1/2, Digital Electronics, Programming, Physics
  • Zusatz AddOns: Introductory courses, e.g. for microcontroller programming, word processing, literature research, technical excursion, foreign language courses
• WPF / Schwerpunktkurse (electives) in semesters 6-8 depend on your specialisation (to be choosen after 5th semester) and individual interests. Currently, the following specialisation are offered:
  • Allgemeine Elektrotechnik (General Electrical Engineering)
  • Technische Informatik (Technical Computer Science)
  • Gebäudeautomation (Building Automation).

 If you are interested in a bilingual program starting in the winter semester, please take a look at the "Bilingual Mecanical" and "Bilingual Mechatronics" programs offered by the department of Mechanical Engineering. Since the requirements, examination regulations and structure of these programs are very similar, the change from one to another program during your studies is also possible.
