Prerequisites
A prerequisite for starting studies in a first university degree. The necessary background education is stated in the exam regulation. It defines the required technical prerequisites for degrees in mechanical engineering courses of study, mechatronics, materials engineering, simulation engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and courses of study with similar technical profiles. The exam board determines whether the admissions requirements have been fulfilled. On the faculty website you can find detailed information on how to apply.
Module Handbook and Examination Regulations
The module handbook provides a description of all modules of a degree program and offers a comprehensive insight into the program contents.
The examination regulations are comprised of legally binding provisions on learning objectives, prerequisites for study, the course structure and processes, and examination procedures.
Regulations that generally apply to all Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, including information on language proficiency requirements, can be found in RWTH's General Examination Regulations. These general regulations are further specified and complemented by the subject-specific examination regulations.
If two examination regulations are valid for a degree program during a transition phase, the most current version shall apply to students enrolling in the program for the first time.
Please note that only the German examination regulations are legally binding.
