Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1971. More than 9,000 students

study in the fields of Technology, Architecture, Natural and Engineering Sciences, Econo-

my, Design, Social Sciences and Nursing and Health. All study programmes finish with a

Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree. A Bachelor programme has a duration of six or seven

semesters, Master programmes take three or four semesters.

Students at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences benefit from a perfect combination of

science and practical experience, which is made possible thanks to good contacts be-

tween the university and regional companies.

The Faculty of Engineering and Mathematics offers

scholarship holders of „Ciência sem Fronteiras Ale-

manha“ a specially designed programme of one or

two semesters in the field of study „„„„MechanicalMechanicalMechanicalMechanical EEEEn-n-n-n-

Before the start of the study programme, scholarship holders take a 10-week intensive

German course that will prepare them for their studies in terms of technical language. The

course will continue during the semester. For German courses, Bielefeld University of

Applied Sciences has been working for many years with a language school situated in

Bielefeld called “bibis”. Their teachers are very experienced in teaching university stu-

dents from all over the world.

The town of BielefeldThe town of BielefeldThe town of BielefeldThe town of Bielefeld

Bielefeld is located in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia in the North-West of

Germany. The town was founded in 1214 and is, with its 330,000 inhabitants, one of the

20 largest towns in Germany. About 27,000 students study in Bielefeld and give the town

a good touch of student life. Bielefeld offers great opportunities for culture, sports and

leisure time activities. Beside several theatres, museums and cinemas you find a wide

variety of cafés, bars, restaurants and clubs. Going by train, you can get to Germany’s

capital Berlin in about two and a half hours.

Bielefeld is also an important industrial centre with

well-known companies like Dr. Oetker, Böllhoff, Gil-

demeister, Schüco and many others.

10-week intensive course in German, partly exclusively for Brasilian scholars, part-

ly integrated into courses with students from different countries on the appropriate

levels. Main topic is learning German for everyday use, later with focus on technic-

al German with focus on the chosen field of study.

Along with language learning, scholars will be introduced to:

German culture and history

- German economy and engineering

- information about the region

- the city of Bielefeld, its history and present situation

- studying in Germany, life on the campus, organization of studies

- ….

If possible, part of the lessons will be taught by teams (consisting of an expe-

rienced language teacher and an Engineering student of Bielefeld University of Ap-

plied Sciences whose native language is German).

Start: July 14th 2014

End: September 12th 2014

Tests can be taken on the levels B1, B2, C1 in December, March or June, TestDaF six

times a year.

used in the field of study and instructions for working in the seminars and work-

shops. Beside the course, students will have the opportunity to get individual as-

sistance for preparing presentations and the like.

Duration and amount of lessons:

26 weeks in the lecture period (mid-September to January, March to June), 2 les-

sons per week, in total 52 course lessons and individual teaching on request. 5

Credit Points (ECTS) per semester.

Cultural programCultural programCultural programCultural program

Part of the cultural program will be integrated into the intensive German course.

The International Office of Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences coordinates a

team of “Buddies” who take care of international students. They are a network of

students who aim to help international students start their new lives in Bielefeld.

They provide assistance and give advice throughout the exchange period, and pro-

mote active interchange between German and international students.

The scholars’ personal Buddy will take care of them right from the moment when

they arrive in Bielefeld. Scholars will be picked up from the train or bus station and

helped with formalities (registration at the university, health insurance, Ausländer-

amt [Foreigners’ Registration Office]...), everyday things like shopping, buying a

bicycle etc and getting to know Bielefeld’s student life (pubs, cinemas, night

clubs...). The Buddies will also help the scholars organize their studies and will be

a good support for learning German.

During the semester the Buddy Team organizes a wide variety of events and activi-

ties, such as excursions and day trips, company tours and parties.

“Welcome Party” with the Buddy Team at the beginning of the semester
