Transfer to a higher semester
To enroll in the bachelor's degree programs in mechanical engineering, logistics, and industrial engineering, there is no mandatory requirement that you apply for a higher semester.
For example, in order to meet deadlines, you can enroll in the first semester and then have your credits recognized during the course of your studies. There is no deadline for applying for recognition of examination achievements.
Please note the recognition regulations of the TU Dortmund University.
If you would like to start your bachelor studies in the summer semester, you must be placed in at least the 2nd semester.
The following applies:
- For the placement into the 2nd semester you need 15 LP.
- For the placement into the 3rd semester you need 45 LP.
- For the placement into the 4th semester you need 75 LP.
- For the placement into the 5th semester you need 105 LP.
Change of study program within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
Here's how it works
If the modules/courses are identical and are anchored in both degree programs, such as Higher Mathematics I or Manufacturing, etc., they can be recognized directly via the study coordination.
For all other modules, the recognition is always done via the responsible module representative. Please use the following form. The responsibility can be found in the module handbook of the respective study program.
Send the completed form including attachments by email to Ms. Gurski, Study Coordination.
After approval by the chairman of the examination board, the documents are forwarded directly to the central examination administration. You can take the recognition from the BOSS approx. 4 weeks later.
Submit the applications for the higher subject semester to the Student Administration Office. Information on applying for the higher semester can be found here.
- It is very important to observe the deadlines! All important dates and deadlines can be found here.
- The B. Sc. Industrial Engineering and Management is admission restricted up to and including the 4th semester.
Please note that different deadlines apply to international students! Please contact the International Office!
