Courses for master craftswomen, master craftsmen, technicians and vocationally qualified persons
Since the 2009/2010 winter semester, master craftswomen, master craftsmen, technicians and vocationally qualified persons can take up studies at Bavarian universities. Due to their practical orientation, technical universities are a particularly attractive contact point for this group of people.
In order to close knowledge gaps in the subjects of maths and physics, as well as English and scientific working techniques, the THWS Campus for Professional Development has been offering preparatory courses since February 2010.
