- PreBachelor is a comprehensive preparation for a Bachelor’s degree in engineering at TU Darmstadt. During the programme, you will learn German technical language and methodical basics and get to know the university as well as student life in Germany before you start your studies.
• Content-based language course in engineering: In the German intensive course, you will learn specialised German language skills that are required for engineering studies at TU Darmstadt. Course participants will be guided from the proven general language German level B2 to the subject language German level C1.
