• Application for study place

The program can obe started in the summer or winter semester.
Since the program is not subject to admission restrictions, the application is made exclusively via the PRIMUSS application portal THI.

• Application dates

Information on the application period, which starts on May 2 for winter or Nov. 15 for summer term, and on the application procedure can be found on the page Application for a Bachelor's Study Place.

• Requirements

The prerequisite for admission to studies at THI is either the general or subject-specific university entrance qualification or the advanced technical college entrance qualification. Regulations regarding prior practical experience are laid down in the study and examination regulations of the respective degree programs.

As an engineering graduate, your career prospects are excellent! (Link to VDMA? www.thb.info/rubriken/maritime-wirtschaft/detail/news/vdma-ingenieure-verzweifelt-gesucht.html and www.ingenieurwesen-studieren.de/ingenieurmangel/)

Whether design and development with virtual tools, quality assurance or test planning in the test field, whether consulting or technical product and project management - the combination of well-founded basic training and specialisation in the major offers you versatile career prospects as an engineering graduate. Graduates of engineering sciences work, for example, for companies in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, the aviation industry, they work in engineering service, in engineering consulting or in administration.

General information on scholarship:

Financing your study programme might be a big challenge for you. On our homepage you find different opportunities of financing your academic studies at our university. Link:

Financial assistance

Please note that financial aid programmes are mostly not open to foreign students. For scholarships for students from abroad you may have a look here:

https://www.daad.de/deutschland/stipendium/datenbank/en/12359-finding-scholarships/
Public funding (BAföG) is only available to Germans and to EU citizens if they have spent a considerable part of their education in Germany. The university awards a scholarship called Deutschlandstipendium once a year which cannot fully cover living expenses. Additionally we have limited funds and support some international students for a maximum of one semester. Please do not actively approach the International Office on scholarships, once a year a call for application automatically reaches all international students.

Third party scholarship:

• If you are an applicant from abroad, you may qualify for a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD): www.daad.de
• If you are a German students we recommend to research for suitable scholarships on www.mystipendium.de
• Please note that we cannot offer any guidance or support concerning scholarship applications.

We recommend that single students budget at least 700-900 EUR per month to meet personal expenses (accommodation, health insurance, stay, books, semester contribution)

You can gain international experience during a study semester at a partner university abroad or during an internship semester abroad. The flexible design of the curriculum through compulsory elective modules favours the planning of a stay abroad. The International Office will be happy to advise you on the topic of studying abroad during your degree programme.

Studierenden ist insgesamt eine Vorpraxis von acht Wochen vorgeschrieben. Diese kann vor Studienbeginn und während der vorlesungsfreien Zeit abgeleistet werden. Die gesamten acht Wochen müssen spätestens zu Beginn des vierten Studiensemesters absolviert sein. Auf Wunsch lassen wir Euch wissen, wo unsere Studierenden in der Vergangenheit die Vorpraxis erfolgreich absolviert haben.

The first year of study is to be understood as an orientation phase. In addition to the general engineering basics, you will gain initial insights into special disciplines such as product development, design and calculation in different areas, materials technology and computer science, as well as business aspects. Other differences compared to the other degree programmes are the diverse elective options from the second year onwards. In the 3rd semester, you choose one of the five study areas "Development and Construction", "Digital Engineering", "Electromobility", "Development of Flight Systems" or "Energy Technology". Within this focus, there are further options that allow you to individually design the direction of your studies.

Within a field of study, there are between 14 or 15 possible modules from which you can choose 13 compulsory elective modules of the field of study. In addition, there are four subject-specific compulsory elective modules (FW subjects), which can also be selected from a catalogue according to the field of study. You are largely free to choose and combine the individual modules. To help you, there are sample timetables that you can use as a guide.

No. You only decide on the subject orientation of your studies one year later. You can choose the modules so that they match those from the original degree programmes or you can combine them according to your personal interests.
