Learning Agreement
There are two kinds of Learning Agreements (LA) accepted at TU Darmstadt. The normal/pdf
one (Download area at www.tu-darmstadt.de/europe-incomings) and the Online Learning
Agreement (OLA) within Erasmus without Paper (EWP).
The LA is submitted in two parts: one together with the online application and the other one after admission:
LA with Application: please download the LA pdf form and fill in the courses you plan on
attending during your stay. This is only a draft and can later be updated. For the online
application only two signatures are required, one from the student and the other one from the
home university coordinator.
LA/OLA after Admission: After having received the letter of admission it is possible to submit an
OLA following the home university’s instructions in order to initiate the OLA.
Nevertheless, the LA in pdf as mentioned above is still valid.
Please note that all questions of academic nature (selection of courses, language in
courses, credits, content etc.) are answered by the departmental coordinators, they are
also the contact persons at the OLA. www.tu-darmstadt.de/departmental-coordinators
Language Requirements
Although some courses are held in English, our language of instruction is mainly German and
the majority of our lectures and courses are taught in German. To have a successful study
experience at TU Darmstadt, we therefore ask our incoming exchange students to prepare their
German language skills thoroughly before they come to Darmstadt. For this reason, along with
their application, they have to send a German language certificate, at least level A2 (CEFR)
written either in English or in German. Generally, most universities or language institutes offer
corresponding language courses and are going to issue the A2 certificate. If the German level of
the student is only A2, the participation in the Intensive German language course is
mandatory.
If students are planning to take English taught courses only (no German study program at all),
they have to provide us with an English proficiency certificate of at least level B2 (instead of the
German language certificate) either written in English or in German. Precondition is that they
select adequate English taught courses out of the range of English courses offered at TU
Darmstadt. The respective learning agreement completed with the selected English taught
courses has to be uploaded with the online application.
The range of English taught courses at TU Darmstadt can be found here.
Intensive German Language Course before the Semester
One month before the start of our semester, we offer an Intensive German Language Course.
This course takes place during March for the summer semester and during September for the
winter semester. It is free of charge and participants may obtain 6 ECTS. More information can
be found here: https://www.spz.tu-darmstadt.de/spz_kurse/spz_incomings/index.de.jsp. We
strongly recommend our incoming students to participate in this course since it is a great
opportunity to have a good start in Germany, especially as they get to know other exchange
students.
TU Darmstadt Experience Weeks
Each year in March and September, we organize the TU Darmstadt Experience Weeks in order to
simplify the start for our incoming students at TU Darmstadt. Along with the Intensive German
language course, we will offer several activities to get to know Darmstadt, the TU, as well as
other exchange students. Special tutors will help with the enrolment and other official issues.
More information can be found on our website: www.tu-darmstadt.de/xweeks
German Language Course during the Semester
In addition to this Intensive Course, there will be accompanying German language courses
during the semester. These will be adapted to the level of German of the student. In order to do
so, a compulsory grading test will be done at the beginning of the semester. The result of that
test will decide about the course the student will be assigned to. Further information about the
language courses during the semester can be found here.
Courses in English
In addition to the broad range of courses offered in German, there is a variety of courses taught
in English as well. Although we do encourage every student to attend courses in German, these
courses may be an addition to a student’s schedule based on their field of studies and personal
interest. An overview of courses offered in English sorted by departments can be found here.
Accommodation
Accommodation is available in dormitories of Studierendenwerk Darmstadt. With the letter of
admission, the students will get information how to apply for a room in the Studierendenwerk.
Due to limited capacities accommodation unfortunately cannot be guaranteed. Thus we are
offering helpful tips and links to find accommodation in Darmstadt and surroundings on our
website.
Until students have found accommodation, they may also stay at Darmstadt`s youth hostel for
the first couple of days: http://www.djh-hessen.de/jh/darmstadt.
Health Insurance
Proof of health insurance is needed to get enrolled at TU Darmstadt. There are three
possibilities:
1. European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). This card must be valid until the end of the
exchange stay at TU Darmstadt or
2. Confirmation of existing health insurance written in English. This confirmation is going
be proved by a German compulsory health insurance or
3. Purchase of a German Health Insurance. Costs are approximately 120 -125 EUR per
month, contract period per semester.
Please have a look at our website with all important information about health insurance
The European Health Insurance Card often only covers the costs in case of emergencies and
urgent illness. Students have to be informed about the services and treatments that are covered
by their health insurance before they come to Darmstadt! Treatments for chronic diseases will be
billed. In these cases, it will be necessary to arrange an additional health insurance in the
student’s home country
