Practical and informal - that's how you study with us in over 40 degree programs, either at Bachelor's, Diplom or Master's level. You can also study selected courses on a dual basis.
My dual study program includes basic metal training and getting to know installation technology. We create electronic devices and systems, such as an amplifier for a music system. Practical experience helps me to understand the theory even better.
