Learn in Stuttgart, Connect with Europe

You will develop relevant future skills and gain tech industry experience at companies in the highly industrialised Stuttgart area - which also offers cool leisure opportunities right in the heart of the EU (for those who like to explore the wider area: France is just as close to Stuttgart as Lake Constance and some of the best Austrian or Swiss skiing areas). Course topics include themes like local industrial media project, film clip production, innovative entrepreneurship, and digitalisation. All courses are held in English. You will also be introduced to the German language together with other exchange students.

About our programs

Exchange students are able to choose from a variety of English-taught Minor Programs. Each Minor is a one semester long set program. Most Minors run every semester, and normally consist of 30 ECTS credits. 1 ECTS credit normally equals approximately 30 hours of work. Please note that it is NOT possible to pick and mix courses from different Minors. In order to be admitted to one of our Minors, we expect students to have a language level of B2 or higher in English (non-native speakers need to include proof of language proficiency in their application documents).

 

Requirements: This minor fits for both business and technical (including computer science) students who want to apply their competences in interdisciplinary cooperation with other students and real companies.
