FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the Double Degree Program work with WUST?

You will complete your Bachelor studies regularly at RWTH Aachen University. Ideally, and in order not to risk a further delay in your studies by participating in the WUST exchange, you will start your master studies in a mechanical engineering master course in the summer semester, which follows the application period. You complete the regular first master semester and then continue your studies for 1 year at WUST. There you will attend the planned modules in your course of studies. Modules with a maximum volume of 30 CP can be integrated into your local curriculum as part of a change of curriculum.

After your stay at WUST, you will return to RWTH Aachen University and complete your thesis (supervision by professors of RWTH Aachen University and WUST professors). With the award of the "Master of Science RWTH Aachen University" you will also receive the WUST Master's degree.

Which academic qualifications will be recognized through participation in the program?
