News at RWTH International Academy

Last week, and for the first time ever, we hosted our Master Thesis: Meet & Greet!

As part of our career program at RWTH International Academy, this event provided a platform for students, institutes and companies to meet and discuss Master's thesis topics.

RWTH International Academy x Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey: Study Abroad Master Pathway Agreement

A key milestone for students in Mexico. We are proud to officially announce the new agreement for close cooperation with the renowned Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM).

Civil engineers of the future are shaping a sustainable world.

We are very excited to announce a new addition to our portfolio of Master’s Degree programs – the M.Sc. Resilient Civil Engineering (M.Sc. RCE)! This novel master program in the field of civil engineering will be taking new students on board in the winter semester 2024/25.

Paroma 2021 – You made it! We are proud to announce that the first batch of the M. Sc. Periodontology program has successfully graduated.

The postgraduate Master's program for dentists has been offered by RWTH International Academy since 2021. Our first class has now received their Master's cap.

Last Friday, the Short-Term Programs Team of RWTH International Academy received a visit from Prof. Norihisa Miki, Chair of International Affairs at the Faculty of Science and Technology of Keio University in Japan.

RWTH International Academy has been running the Summer School "German Engineering, Language & Culture" for 17 years. Every summer, students from Keio University come to Aachen for three weeks.

Last Monday we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Victor Ayerdi Bardales from Universidad del Valle de Guatemala (UVG) to RWTH International Academy. UVG is a renowned private university in the capital of Guatemala with a strong international orientation.

We are delighted to offer our partner university individual qualification programs as a pathway to our Master's programs in the future. At the same time, the development of a personalized Summer School in the automotive sector is growing!

It’s a wrap! The fourth and last attendance phase of Paroma 2022 is history. Time flies so fast. In November 2022 our students joined us for the first time and now in August the last attendance phase has come to an end.

The fourth attendance phase of our part-time master's program, which trains dental students to become experts in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease, focuses on implantology and the use of lasers in periodontal treatment.

Since the best way to learn is not only to deal with theory, all Summer School programs also include sessions for hands-on learning: case studies, institute visits, expert talks and company tours. The latter primarily to make students familiar with the German industry and get them interested in internships or entry-level positions.

This year, we again had the honor of cooperating with the traditional German company Henkel for the Summer School Production Technology meets Industry 4.0.

Are you a graduate medical professional and ready to take your career to the next level?
Our three part-time master's degree programs offer you the opportunity to continue your education in specialized areas of medicine and expand your expertise.
