Welcome to THA!
The Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering warmly welcomes all international students.
Augsburg is a great place to study, whether you are joining us as an exchange student for one or two semesters or planning to complete your entire degree with us. We look forward to welcoming you!
Please note:
The International Office is your first point of contact for general questions. You will also find information about the application process on their website.
International degree students can find the appropriate contact person there for all questions related to their studies.
Information for International Degree Students: Through the ASK_Mentors programme, you can receive support with practical challenges, orientation, and other issues that may arise during your studies.
Information for Exchange Students
The basic selection criterion for a mobility program is the timely and complete submission of application materials. Furthermore, the faculty follows the "first come, first served" principle when allocating spots.
To ensure that your courses are recognized by your home university, you should choose courses that can be applied toward the modules in your degree program.
For descriptions of the German-language specialized courses for your degree program, please go to the respective degree program page and access the module handbook under “Curriculum.”
Please contact your International Faculty Coordinator for more information about your course selection at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences.
At the end of your study abroad program, you can download your transcript of records from the HIS portal. You will need this for the recognition of your academic credits. The following table is available to help you convert your grades to a different grading system.
| ECTS Grades | German Grade | Description | Explanation |
| A | 1.0 – 1.5 | Excellent | Outstanding |
| B | 1.6–2.0 | Very Good | Very Good |
| C | 2.1 – 3.0 | Good | Good |
| D | 3.1–3.5 | Satisfactory | Satisfactory |
| E | 3.6 – 4.0 | Sufficient | Sufficient |
| FX/F | 4.1 – 5.0 | Fail | Fail |
You’ll receive all the important information you need to get started with your studies during Welcome Week. In addition, your International Faculty Coordinator will hold an orientation session during Welcome Week. During this session, your Learning Agreement will be discussed and, if necessary, your course selection will be adjusted.
