Top study time with practical teaching!

"During my studies, great emphasis was placed on hands-on assignments and relevant internships. Personally, this type of teaching helped me a lot—when knowledge isn’t just taught theoretically but is also put into practice."

Student, Mechanical Engineering (Diplom)

Study experience in Zittau

★★★★★

"I have only had good experiences in Zittau. The learning content is great and the lecturers are great. The small student body is also a great advantage. Everyone knows everyone and you also have a good relationship with the profs. They are always available and very understanding and helpful."
