Study program variant Time4ING (SaG)

More time to start your studies

Complete the lectures and exams in five semesters that would otherwise take three semesters - and use the time gained for individual support and deepening? Time4ING , the study program at adapted speed in the Department of Engineering at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, enables all first-year students who need more time at the beginning to start their studies at a slower pace.

The Time4ING course variant has been possible in the electrical engineering course since the summer semester of 2023 and in international industrial engineering and industrial engineering since the winter semester of 2023/24. Students can either apply for Time4ING directly - or they can get the option of a slower start to their studies through a consultation. For example, if the placement test in mathematics in the third week of lectures shows that the previous knowledge is not sufficient, the students are encouraged to switch to Time4ING.

And this is how the slower start to your studies works: By extending the first phase of study by two to a total of five semesters, more time is available for the basic subjects. This means that fewer subjects and exams are scheduled per semester and the focus is on individual support in small groups. Projects and internships deepen the basic knowledge. A module “Starting your studies” supplements the technical content with a “tool set” necessary for your studies: learning techniques, time management, scientific work. Time4ING students are supervised by a member of staff and accompanied by mentors, students from higher semesters.
