Other special features

In addition to their degree courses in Duisburg/Essen, it is helpful for students of the Department of Building Sciences to study abroad for one or two semesters. To this end, the University of Duisburg-Essen has concluded contracts with other universities in Europe in order to give students from Duisburg/Essen the opportunity to study abroad as part of the ERASMUS programme – and vice versa. The Erasmus coordinator for the Department of Building Sciences is Professor Lupascu. The PROMOS and DUE-Mobil grants give students an opportunity to receive financial support.
