Please have a look at the current overview of our English taught courses winter term – summer term (please see below: Module and Courses ).
Modules and Courses
At TU Darmstadt, the offered courses are organized in modules:
- A module consists of one or more courses.
- A course is always part of a module (and can be part of various modules).
- A course for example can be a lecture (“Vorlesung” –vl), a practical course (“Übung” –ue), or a seminar (“Seminar” –se).
Students only get a grade when they finish the whole module. A module consists of one or more courses as well as examinations. So please register for every module, every course of the module, and the examinations on TUCaN. If you register for a module you are not automatically registered for the associated examination.
Please consider that the language of instruction at the department is usually German. Courses taught in English can be found below.
For exchange students we offer the “International Research Project” (opens in new tab) at master level. Students work on a given topic largely independently using engineering methods. The results are presented in a scientifically correct manner in written and oral form.
- 12 CP
- Taught in English
- Module number: 13-01-M007
Language Courses and Orientation
The international student service invites you to join X-Weeks and the Kick-Off Days with different online activities. Please check the ISS website for updated information.
IREP
This program aims to enable undergraduate and graduate students from TU Darmstadt's partner universities in the USA and Canada to:
- Acquire an insight in research in your field through active participation
- Gain intercultural experience
- Transfer credit points home

Basics
- The academic year consists of two terms/semesters called “Wintersemester” and “Sommersemester”. The winter semester courses start in mid-October and end by mid-February. The summer semester courses start in mid-April and end by mid-July. The so-called „vorlesungsfreie Zeit“ (semester break) is used to take exams, finish term papers, go on excursions, enroll in practical courses and prepare for the upcoming term.
- In order to give you a good start to your studies, we have collected bundled and detailed information about the start of the semester.
- At the beginning of your stay, it is important that you choose your modules and courses in the campus management system of TU Darmstadt TUCaN (for more information please see below).
- Course calendars are online by September 15th for winter term and by March 15th for summer term.
- Here you find our department’s module manuals (scroll down to the end of the webpage).
- Please consider that the language of instruction at the department is usually German. You are planning to study in English? Please have a look at the current overview of our English taught modules. It also contains information on the type of examination.
