Program Objective and Content

Academic Staff

The Online Course provides students with an introduction
to German engineering and natural sciences as well as
German culture. Topics include fundamentals of biology,
chemistry and physics, but also contemporary issues
regarding sustainable mobility concepts, Industry 4.0 andbioprocess technology.

The teaching is divided into a natural sciences part andan engineering part. Numerous institutes are responsible
for the academic program, allowing students to explore
each of these fields of study.

Hands-on classes
Students will conduct their own experiments and little
research projects with everyday objects at home andbring together their results for the purpose of comparing,combining and to find connections.
