Program dates: 10 - 12 weeks from May - August

The International Research Experience Program (IREP) offers hands-on experience in cutting-edge research projects in many departments at Technische Universität Darmstadt, one of the leading universities of technology in Germany. As one of the leading engineering universities in Germany, TU Darmstadt is ranked No. 1 in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and has an excellent reputation in Social Sciences, Architecture, Natural Sciences, Civil Engineering and the Humanities.

The aim of the program is to allow students to actively participate in ongoing research at TU Darmstadt while acquiring an insight in research techniques and methods in their field. Students may apply to an ongoing project or propose a project. Participating students are well-supported and supervised by faculty and academic staff in the hosting departments at Technische Universität Darmstadt.
