Studienbrücke Participants

The MINT Academy is a one-week module of the Studienbrücke program and is aimed at prospective students with an interest in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology. Participants learn about everyday student life at German universities, attend subject-specific courses, explore laboratories and campuses, and make their first contacts. The academic program is complemented by a wide range of leisure activities.

The MINT Academy is an intensive, approximately one-week module within the framework of the Study Bridge program and is aimed at international prospective students who wish to study in the MINT field in Germany.

During the academy, participants gain a realistic insight into studying at German universities. In subject-specific courses in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology, they learn about typical content, working methods, and requirements.

A special highlight are the campus and laboratory tours, during which participants can visit modern research facilities and experience study and research environments firsthand. This gives participants a better understanding of everyday student life and the opportunities available at German universities.

Two academies are being offered this year:

13 July 2026 – 19 July 2026

20 July 2026 – 27 July 2026
