Courses taught in English English-taught courses and lectures sorted by faculty, department/study degree programme and campus

  1. Master's courses may only be chosen by master's students.
  2. It is advisable to choose most courses in one faculty and on one campus.
  3. Be aware that choosing courses on different campuses is not advisable, due to travel times, overlapping schedules and exams.
  4. Be adviced that some courses, sub-modules and labs are assessed on a pass/fail basis without a grade. Kindly read the syllabus for each course.
  5. Please note that your course selection may have to be updated upon arrival.
  6. We do not offer repeat exams in the same semester.

  7. Make-up/ Retake/Resit exams are not offered within the same semester. This is only possible if you are officially enrolled as exchange students at Esslingen University in the following semester and the course or exam is available at that time.
