PRACTICAL RELEVANCE IS AN INTEGRAL ASPECT OF THE WHOLE PROGRAMME
Apart from teaching the fundamentals, Esslingen University of Applied Sciences also places great emphasis on high levels of practical relevance. The Chemical Engineering degree programme is characterised as being particularly application oriented: around 50% of the course content is taught in our modern laboratories, such as the Paint production laboratory or the Surface and nano-chemistry laboratory.
The intensely nurtured contacts between the university and industry provide students with numerous opportunities to undertake practical projects and also do their final thesis, even at undergraduate level.
Unique: CREATIVE STUDY UNITS ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO EXPERIMENT
A further unique feature of the applied chemistry programme at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences is its approach to colour design: colours and coatings are produced and analysed not only in the technical and chemical laboratories. Creative study units encourage students to experiment and thus allow them to experience the joy of working with surface materials themselves.
SMALL SEMESTER INTAKES AND EVERYTHING WITHIN EASY REACH
In contrast to university intakes, the semester intakes at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences are manageable. Study units completed in small groups, laboratory work in the chemistry laboratories and practical project work are the norm.
