Hochschule Esslingen University of Applied Sciences
Esslingen am Neckar, GermanyPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Thin but useful: English-taught power electronics, microprocessor systems, control systems and computer architecture; no English telecom, DSP or electromagnetics
English-taught programme: The official English-taught course list offers incoming students a small set of bachelor modules: three B.Eng. Electrical Engineering (Mobility and Technology, city campus) modules with labs, plus computer science, software, security and mechatronics modules on the Hilltop and Goeppingen campuses. Master modules in the list are restricted to master students, and the university advises keeping most courses within one faculty and campus.
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Electronic 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 Electronic Engineering study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
