EECS - For International Students

List of courses for international students

The University of Kassel offers three different categories of courses for exchange students.

English courses, these are courses which are held only in the English Language
Mixed German courses, these are courses which are held in German but they provide learning material in English as well
German courses, these courses are only held in German language

While planning your learning agreement and choosing courses for your learning agreement, please choose courses which are appropriable with your previous knowledge, specifically with your language skills.

If you are not proficient in German language it is preferable for you to choose the first option, the English courses which are only held in English.

If you have a little bit of German language knowledge and you are good at learning from written material, you can choose the second option: Courses which are held in German but have English learning material, such as scripts or a book.

If you have sufficient German skills and you are able to understand spoken German language, you may choose any course at the faculty.

At the bottom of this page you will find a list of all the above mentioned options. Hence, you will find a detailed list of all courses which are held only in English, likewise, courses which are held only in German as well as courses which are held in German but provide English learning material, such as a textbook or scripts. A very important fact is that it is possible to take the final exam in almost all courses in the English language, disregarding the language which it is held in.

Another essential point is that, although the courses are not offered each semester, the exams take place each semester.

If you are uncertain about your choice or you have any questions or queries regarding your foreign semester courses please do not hesitate to contact us.
