Study Exchange Program: Sustainable Computer Science

Are you a student in information technology, computer science or a related field? Then you should add a semester at Germany‘s greenest university to your CV! Our Study Exchange Program ‘Sustainable Computer Science’ offers the possibility to choose from a wide range of classes in the fields of computer science, sustainability, economics and ecology. Some possible subjects are "Remote Sensing", "Information Technology" or "Cyber-Physical Systems". In addition, you can also take German as a foreign language.

Participants of the programme will live and study on our modern campus with over 2,100 other students. All student apartments are affordable and fully equipped. They have high-speed internet access and a connection to our university intranet.

The university does not charge tuition fees for the semester of study. The general admission fee is approximately 250 euros per semester, which also provides free train travel in the region.

Students benefit from the advantages of our "Buddy" concept, in which German students provide individual help with orientation and integration into campus life.
