Studying abroad
Whether you are studying, doing an internship or taking a language course abroad, as a student you will always benefit from a stay abroad. It’s about improving your professional and language skills, getting to know other cultures and understanding them better. Experience abroad has also become indispensable for an optimal start in professional life.
Likewise, students from abroad are welcome at the Faculty of Engineering – be it as interns, as exchange students or as students in a regular study programme.
