The Internationally Oriented Studies program at the FH Aachen, Jülich Campus, specializes in teaching students technical abilities and skills as well as soft skills. All modules emphasize that

• professional expertise means more than theoretical knowledge: application of professional knowledge is crucial
• priorities include technical and professional expertise based on mathematics, natural sciences and technical skills
• soft skills, including social competence and the ability to work in a team, are equally necessary for the students’ future employment.

The first-year engineering courses offered in the IOS program are taught in English. 

You get the tools to become an Engineer in the first four semesters: You learn all mathematical and scientifical as well as academical basics of Applied Chemistry. In the fourth semester you get the specific basics in environmental chemisty, life sciences and nuclear chemisty.

In the fifth semester you decide in which area of specialization you want to become an expert. You can decide in the fields of environmental technology, food and consumer protection or nuclear chemisty.

The first half of the sixth semester is devoted to a practical subject. The Bachelor thesis are the completation of your studies. Afterwards you start your working life or continue with a master course.

The flexibility of the program allows students to choose electives and specialization courses according to their individual aptitudes and interests. Consequently, many of our graduates find employment in these and related fields:
