Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Our degree courses have close links with companies in the region. This has many advantages. From the first semester, students have contacts with industry and get to know potential employers at an early stage. Practicals are not only held in the university's own laboratories, but also directly in the companies. The programme includes company tours, mentoring by specialists and executives, lecture series with experts from industry as well as project work. The campus is very intimate and friendly, and the professors and staff have time for the students.

Other special features

Tuttlingen is primarily known as a business location of numerous world market leaders. But athletes, wellness fans, culture lovers and night owls also get their money's worth here. This is partly due to its location in the Upper Danube Valley, and its proximity to Lake Constance and the Alps. But the region also has above-average cultural and leisure offerings.
