You typically have to arrange for a pre-mobility learning agreement; this might have to be updated in the first week after the start of your semester at our school.
- You will finally identify the courses you will take within the first week of lectures at our school –
please note: there is no registration for individual courses at our school required before. - Please find all courses offered in the English language on www.hs-pforzheim.de/isp/courses
- The time-table for classes and further detailed information on your final choice of courses will be given to you during the ISP welcome and orientation session before the beginning of the lecture period at our school.
- Business Courses offered in German: Although this website focuses on courses offered in the English language, exchange students are welcome to choose business courses offered in the German language, provided they meet the necessary language skills and the prerequisites for the respective courses.
