Overview of partner universities
In the following overview you will find all partner universities of the three schools of Pforzheim University incl. language and grade requirements. For detailed information, for example, semester dates or courses, please search for the corresponding university in the partner database.
Partner universities are universities with which Pforzheim University has a written agreement for an exchange. It is agreed that a certain number of students from one university can study abroad at the other university and vice versa.
In most countries, unlike in Germany, studying abroad is not free of charge and sometimes involves high tuition fees.
With this agreement, tuition fees are waived for Pforzheim students at these universities. In addition, Pforzheim University supports you in the organisation of your studies abroad and acts as your intermediary to the partner university.
Industrial Engineering (WING)
Although Industrial Engineering (WING) is part of the Faculty of Engineering you have the option to apply for both partners of the Faculty of Engineering and the Business School.
Please note that you can (mostly) only take courses at the local Business School if you choose a Business partner university.
Faculty of Engineering (all students)
As a student of the Engineering Faculty you have the option to study at a partner university of the Ge4 Network as well. Successful applicants do not have to pay tuition fee either.
