Exchange Studies

Exchange students at our faculty are fully integrated into offered programmes and are presented with the same study opportunities as our local students. They may choose from all available courses from both Bachelor and Master programmes. Exempt from these are the Bachelor and Master Thesis, which can only be accomplished by the regular students of the TU Darmstadt.
