School - Bergische Universität Wuppertal

First joint UW
Technical Academy of Wuppertal
educational project
UW has been cooperating
with the Technische Akademie
Wuppertal (Technical Academy
of Wuppertal – TAW) since
1987, but July 2010 sees the
launch of a new project: an intensive
preparatory course for
admission to a university degree
program in engineering.
Aimed at school-leavers with
entrance qualifications for a
Fachhochschule (university of
applied science), the summer
course in mathematics, physics
and English will boost 20
prospective engineering graduates
to Abitur (higher school
leaving certificate) level in six
weeks. Program input includes
geometry, linear algebra and
calculus, as well as mechanics,
acoustics, optics and electrostatics.
Existing English skills
will be freshened up and expanded
especially in technical
areas.
The six week course ends with
an admission examination opening
the door to UW bachelor’s
programs in civil, mechanical,
electrical and safety engineering,
as well as printing and
media engineering and IT.
The educational partnership
established in this cooperative
venture is to be extended in future
years.
