Made in Germany | Carl Benz School of Engineering: Study American-style in Baden-Württemberg

Pakistan, China, Kenya - young people come from all over the globe to study engineering at Karlsruhe University. Here, the Carl-Benz School of Mechanical Engineering has a special international engineering department.

Teaching is in English and combines practical industrial experience and cultural studies. Students receive scholarships from industry, student accommodation and a mentor, based on the American system. The aim of this private industrial initiative is to attract foreign students to Germany. Later, graduates can work for German firms in their own countries and act as mediators between the cultures. Mabel Gundlach went to Karlsruhe to see for herself.

What a great initiative! An excellent example of a public-private school in tertiary education.

12,000 euros is a god send, my friends all go to college and they are paying over 40 grand a year.

[kunstsein]

@Jthebig90 how can a student even remotely earn 40 grand in only year? How does this work for people without family sponsoring? Not i guess.

[AlexShaf91]

12,000 Euros a year is nothing compared to prices in the U.S.

How much does it cost in Munich ??/

[ZB90]

12000 EURO a year is a heavy price to pay don't you think? No Thank You, if you ask me to go study there I'll have to pass. If you're gonna spend Big Money might as well study in Munich with the best.

LOL, after the talk about: "sponsoring students (12000 EURO's/5years) is an investment", then most of those interviewed students didn't care about working in Germany..
