The respective existing 6-semester Bachelor's Degree programmes are extended to 7 semesters (210 ECTS) with the orientation semester in full-time. This does not change the respective curriculum of the underlying Degree programmes. The joint orientation semester is an extension that precedes the existing Degree programmes. This offers the opportunity to find the right engineering discipline for oneself in the orientation semester and then start the regular bachelor's degree program in the winter semester.

Students thus have the opportunity to begin their studies as early as the summer semester. The application and registration is done in the usual way.
