Your degree programme in Mittweida
Whether it’s engineering, media or business: choose from English-taught study programmes, interdisciplinary modules or our exclusive summer semester track in Responsible Consumption and Production. Or, if you speak German: choose freely from over 90 study programmes.
For many international students, the easiest way to spend an exchange semester in Mittweida is to undertake a semester on a study programme that is taught in English anyway. The Bachelor’s degree programme in Applied Mathematics and the Master’s programmes in Applied Mathematics for Network and Data Sciences and in Innovation and Business Expansion are available for this purpose. Perfect for earning international credits without having to study German.
Combine subject-specific modules from your chosen faculty with language courses (German as a Foreign Language) and intercultural training. To draw up your tailor-made Learning Agreement, please contact our International Office.
