Applied Core Studies
By combining the Anglo-American course duration
and the strengths of long-established traditional
German degree courses, the three-year
bachelor program in Mechanical Engineering
offered by the Carl Benz School aims to prepare
future engineers for a successful career.
Core Studies
Core studies form the solid academic
foundation of the program. It is divided into
intermediate studies from semesters 1 to 4,
followed by one (or more) major in the 5 th and
6 th semester.
Supplementary Courses and Seminars
Students can choose to take special supplementary
courses addressing history, economy,
culture, and current German political and
social environment within an international
context. CBS offers seminars in management
and leadership techniques as well as intercultural
communication. Additonally, there are
job application workshops provided.
Compulsory Internships
Beside the core studies, students have to complete
the internship program, consisting of a
basic and an advanced industrial internship,
each at least for 6 weeks. These internships
are often the chance to build business and
personal relationships with German industry
partners.
Counseling & Support
All students receive individualized counseling
and support throughout their studies. Regular
performance evaluations and personalized
mentoring encourage students to achieve the
best in their studies and develop their professional
profile.
Admission Criteria
The Carl Benz School admission criteria are
based on a combination of class ranking, test
scores, overall grade point average and more
specifically the grades in mathematics and
sciences as well as the letters of recommendation
from mathematics and science teachers
in high school.
The selection criteria favour students who
have chosen courses which are highly dependent
upon knowlege and reasoning, e.g.,
college preparatory mathematics, laboratory
sciences, and English and possess a true
interest in mechanical engineering and its
fields of application.
