You won’t be left on your own during your studies. Especially at the beginning, a range of programs helps you get started. Key support includes:

• Pre-courses to refresh your fundamentals before the semester begins
• Tutorials led by senior students to review course content
• Extra exercises to deepen your understanding
• Office hours with lecturers to ask questions directly
• Mentoring and advising throughout your studies

Questions come up regularly during your studies—whether organizational, academic, or personal. For many issues, our Secretary is the first point of contact. Here you receive quick answers to common questions and guidance on who can help you further. This ensures you’re well supported and always know who to turn to.

If you’re unsure whether this program is right for you, you can speak with our academic advisors or take an orientation semester to explore different fields and get a realistic insight into university life.

Your studies combine theory and practice. You’ll work in labs, projects, and practical phases, applying what you learn. Later, you can tailor your studies through electives and project courses to focus on your interests and career goals.

A key feature is the practical semester in the 5th semester, where you spend several months working at a company of your choice. This allows you to put knowledge into practice and learn systematic problem-solving.

For even more hands-on experience, you can choose the integrated practical experience track, working in a partner company from your first semester. This gives you early professional experience, industry contacts, and financial support.

Aalen University is one of Germany’s leading universities of applied sciences in terms of research. Many programs are closely connected to current projects, allowing you to work on technologies and topics that are truly in demand.

The region also offers excellent opportunities: around Aalen, there are many innovative small and medium-sized companies, as well as international corporations. This creates plenty of options for internships, practical semesters, and future career opportunities. 

Aalen is smaller than a major city, which many students appreciate. Everything is close by, you get to know people quickly, and a strong sense of community develops on campus. At the same time, there are many opportunities to socialize and enjoy leisure activities.

The university motto, “Knowledge grows with us” reflects this: exchange, teamwork, and mutual support are central to student life.
