Hochschule Esslingen University of Applied Sciences
Esslingen am Neckar, GermanyPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Thin but usable: only 4 English-taught bachelor EE/CS modules (Power Electronics, Microprocessor Systems, Control Systems, Computer Architecture) plus 1 distributed-systems module
English-taught programme: Hochschule Esslingen offers a short English list for incoming exchange students: four B.Eng. Electrical Engineering modules (City Centre Campus, ELB, 4-5 ECTS) and bachelor computer-science modules at the Hilltop Campus (5 ECTS); master modules (High Performance Computing, Network Security) are open to master students only. All listed modules run in both winter and summer terms (WS/SS); the university advises choosing all courses within one campus and faculty, resit exams are not offered in the same semester, and the list is updated each semester so availability must be re-confirmed before the learning agreement.
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Electrical & Computer 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 Electrical & Computer Engineering study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
| Partner course / module (ECTS) | Possible HMU equivalent (ECTS) | Fit | Offered | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power Electronics (ELB) incl. lab (5) B.Eng. Electrical Engineering, 2nd stage (upper bachelor), taught in English per module handbook SS 2026; covers converters, inverters, drivers, EMC, drive control. Offered WS and SS. | → | Power Electronics Ηλεκτρονικά Ισχύος (4) | strong | W/S |
| Microprocessor Systems (ELB) incl. lab (4) B.Eng. Electrical Engineering, 2nd stage; bare-metal C on ARM Cortex-M3 (GPIO, interrupts, ADC/DAC, timers). Best fit is Embedded Systems; no explicit RTOS content. Offered WS and SS. | → | Embedded Systems Ενσωματωμένα Συστήματα (4) | likely | W/S |
| Microprocessor Systems (ELB) incl. lab (4) Secondary fit only: microcontroller architecture and peripherals overlap with part of Computer Organization (S4); no assembler or memory hierarchy focus. | → | Computer Organization Οργάνωση Υπολογιστών (5) | weak | W/S |
| Control Systems (ELB) incl. lab (5) B.Eng. Electrical Engineering, 2nd stage; Laplace/Bode/Nyquist, stability, PID design, plant identification, simulation, labs. Mechatronics flavour. Offered WS and SS. | → | Automatic Control Systems I Συστήματα Αυτομάτου Ελέγχου Ι (6) | strong | W/S |
| Control Systems (ELB) incl. lab (5) Only partial overlap: includes some z-domain analysis and controller commissioning, but not a dedicated digital control course. | → | Applied Digital Control Εφαρμοσμένος Ψηφιακός Έλεγχος (5) | weak | W/S |
| Computer Architecture (IT 105 4003) (5) Hilltop Campus, Software Engineering and Media Computing B.Eng., 4th term; ISA, assembler, peripherals, OS hardware support, English or German; offered every semester. Different campus than the ELB modules. | → | Computer Architecture Αρχιτεκτονική Υπολογιστών (5) | strong | W/S |
| Computer Architecture (IT 105 4003) (5) Also overlaps Computer Organization (processor structure, assembler, memory); choose 72 or 23 for recognition, not both. | → | Computer Organization Οργάνωση Υπολογιστών (5) | likely | W/S |
| Parallel and Distributed Systems (module 0108) (5) Hilltop Campus, SWB elective, semester 6; distributed computing, cloud, containers, REST/microservices. Module handbook (SPO 8.0, 2025) lists German as language although the English course page lists it as English-taught: verify with the International Office. | → | Distributed Systems and Clouds Κατανεμημένα Συστήματα και Νέφη (4) | likely | W/S |
| Parallel and Distributed Systems (module 0108) (5) Parallelisation paradigms (shared memory, message passing) overlap partly with Parallel Processing; the module is software-oriented, not HPC architecture. Language caveat as above. | → | Parallel Processing Παράλληλη Επεξεργασία (4) | weak | W/S |
| Renewable Energy Systems (Mechanical Engineering B.Eng.) (2) Only 2 ECTS (plus 1 ECTS lab) at the City Centre Campus in the Mechanical Engineering faculty; content not verified in detail, a weak partial overlap with Energy Systems. | → | Energy Systems Ενεργειακά Συστήματα (4) | weak | W/S |
Offered = indicative term at the partner (W = winter/autumn semester, S = spring/summer semester, W/S = both semesters), from the partner’s published course catalogue. Not based on past mobilities; can change year to year — confirm with the coordinator. “—” = term not published.
