For each of the Summer School programmes, the content of the courses is determined by the individual RWTH Aachen University institute that conducts the lectures and laboratory courses. These courses are characterised by their interdisciplinary and innovative approach. This alliance between scientific study and practical experience is enhanced through additional company excursions and lectures from experts.
II. German Language and Culture
All the Summer School programmes include an intensive German language course provided by the Language Centre of the RWTH Aachen University. The experienced German teachers take great care of the international students and convey not only German language skills but also a sense of German culture.
III. Social Events – Have fun while studying
