Hochschule Esslingen – Mechanical & Automotive Engineering
Esslingen, GermanyPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟢 Good fit: official English list has solid matches in fluid mechanics, control, FEM, heat transfer, turbomachinery, propulsion and mobile robotics (mostly small 2-5 ECTS B.Eng modules, so combine several)
English-taught programme: Official 'courses taught in English' list for exchange students. B.Eng modules from Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics (Goeppingen), plus INTAP Automotive B.Eng (Fluid Mechanics, Feedback Control, Propulsion). Master's courses are master-only. SS=summer(Spring), WS=winter, SS/WS=every semester (Year). Many ME modules only 1.5-4 ECTS; list updated each semester.
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Mechanical Engineering students / no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Mechanical Engineering study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
