Description/content The course at RWU trains engineers in the fields of electrical engineering, electromobility, and green energy to apply scientific knowledge and technical ideas directly to practical applications or marketable products. Course highlights are the short duration (seven semesters = three and a half years) and the intensive support given to the students. Laboratory courses, project work, and case studies ensure high practical relevance.
Course Details

Possibility of finding part- Foreign students registered at universities in Germany can work without an approval requirement, time employment provided that this work does not exceed 120 full days or 240 half days in total during a calendar year. Jobs as research or student assistants can also be performed without an approval requirement and without any time limits. However, finding jobs in companies or at the university is not easy. Applicants should also be aware of the fact that studying at university is highly demanding and might not allow enough time to take on a job at the same time. Therefore, international students should not plan to finance their stay in Germany by earning money while studying.
Accommodation Accommodation is mainly provided and organised by the organisations "Seezeit Studierendenwerk Bodensee" and "Studentenwerk Weiße Rose e.V.", which run dormitories in Weingarten and Ravensburg.

University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg- Weingarten
The Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences (RWU) has a total of approx. 3,600 students and hosts four departments: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Technology and Management as well as Social Work, Health, and Nursing.
Currently, approx. 15% of the students attending the university are international students. The students on the extensive campus are instructed by 100 professors and a similar number of external lecturers.
RWU is involved in numerous research projects and activities, which involve co-operations with companies and partner universities.
University location Weingarten is a rural town with approx. 26,000 inhabitants, including some 7,000 students enrolled at the two universities. Situated in the south-west of Germany in proximity to Switzerland and Austria, it is embedded in a beautiful countryside. The area offers leisure activities such as skiing and hiking in the Alps, walking or cycling in the surrounding hills, and swimming in Lake Constance or the many small, surrounding lakes.
Weingarten is famous for its basilica, the biggest baroque church north of the Alps. The neighbouring town of Ravensburg has a lovely medieval town centre and offers a rich cultural programme including theatre performances, jazz, and sports events. 4 The Lake Constance / Upper Swabia region is also one of the strongest economic regions in Europe. It is home to numerous innovative companies as well as to global companies such as ZF, Airbus, and Rolls Royce Power Systems.
The airport at Friedrichshafen is only 20 km away. Thus, living in Weingarten combines the comfortable atmosphere of a small town with the advantages of a strong economic area.
