There is a lot to choose from - even for those interested in science and technology: mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. What should you choose? The plusMINT orientation course brings the above-mentioned fields of study together and enables students to embark on a Bachelor's degree course that qualifies them for a wide range of exciting and future-oriented jobs.

In a two-semester orientation phase, students get to know the various STEM subjects, consolidate their basic knowledge and acquire interdisciplinary skills before starting the six- to seven-semester major.

The orientation phase consists of tutorials and workshops to support study and career planning and the acquisition of key skills, propaedeutic and subject-specific courses, STEM projects and an interdisciplinary lecture series. From the third semester onwards, students specializing in civil engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, mathematics, mechatronics, nanostructural sciences, physics, technomathematics or environmental engineering take one of the traditional Bachelor's programmes from the STEM spectrum.

If you want to test your aptitude and talent first, you should consider a plusMINT course: The orientation phase not only compensates for inequalities in prior knowledge and educational requirements. It is intended to encourage all prospective students, regardless of their educational background and gender, to take the plunge into a science and technology degree course. The plusMINT degree program allows students to make a qualified decision about their studies and thus increases their chances of successfully completing their degree.
