What can I study and where in Germany?
On the following websites you can find all the courses of study offered in Germany. You can filter and search through the database for your desired subject area, specific courses of study, federal state, start of studies, and more. Aside from the information about the courses of study and universities, you can read more on the universities' own websites.
What course of study is right for me?
Aptitude and interest tests can help you to become aware of your personal interests. Use your results and discuss them with an academic advisor in the Student Advice Centre. If you are already certain that you are interested in a certain field that is not offered at RWTH Aachen, we recommend contacting the academic advising or student advice center at a more suitable university.
