How should I register my exams

I have enrolled in Elektrotechnik und Informatik and Computer Engineering in the first semester. There are many overlapping exams in the first semester. Can I take these overlapping exams only once? How should I register for the exams?

Anyone living in Vaals or Maastricht?

Because of some personal and complicated issues, I have to live in the Netherlands. If there is anyone living in the Netherlands and is also studying in Aachen, please contact me, I’d like to ask some questions.

Informatik M.Sc. Vorlesungen digital aufgezeichnet oder nicht?

Hallo zusammen! Ich habe vor, mich an der RWTH Aachen um einen Studienplatz im Master Studiengang Informatik zu bewerben. Also deshalb stellt sich die Frage, ob die meisten Vorlesungen digital aufgezeichnet und angeboten oder eher nicht? Ich habe gelesen dass im Corona Zeit vieles aufgezeichnet wurde, ist es noch der Fall? Vielen Dank im Voraus

Wie wird die Umstellung von G8 auf G9 in 2026 an der RWTH spürbar sein?

Ich habe gerade gelesen, dass es in 2026 wegen der Umstellung von G8 auf G9 deutlich weniger Abiturienten in NRW geben wird. Da an der RWTH ca. 75% der deutschen Studenten aus NRW kommen, sollte dies auch spürbare Auswirkungen an der RWTH haben.

Was glaubt ihr, wie diese Auswirkungen konkret aussehen werden? Wird die Wohnraumsuche vorübergehend entspannter? Werden die Vorlesungen der Erstsemester leerer, oder wird evtl. das Angebot eingeschränkt? Wär es für Auswärtige besonders interessant, in diesem Jahr an der RWTH das Studium zu beginnen, weil die Betreuung besser wird? Oder ist eher das Gegenteil der Fall, weil wegen fehlender Studenten aus NRW die Erstsemester weniger ernst genommen werden?

Was glaubt ihr was konkret passieren wird?

Calculator?

A question to anyone who’s currently in computer engineering or a graduate : is it worth investing in a calcuator that can calculate complex numbers? I’m a first semester comp eng student, already have a moderate calculator that is accepted in the exams but for mmet it’s recommended to use a calculator with the complex mode. I just wanted to ask if i should buy a new one in case it’ll be useful in the coming semesters, but if it’s only for mmet i don’t know if it’s worth it.

Frage über GGI 1

Ich will ganz ehrlich sein: Wenn es um GGI 1 geht, verstehe ich den Stoff, aber kann ihn nicht wirklich „festhalten“. Ich habe keine Erfahrung mit Programmieren und schaffe es nicht, die Fragen (KGÜs und Altklausuren) zu lösen. Am schlimmsten ist, dass die Studienquellen wirklich eingeschränkt sind (also keine „Primary Sources“ oder Übungsbücher).

Habt ihr Empfehlungen? Ich brauche wirklich Hilfe damit :(

MS Data Science Application

Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for the MS in Data Science program (Winter 25) at RWTH Aachen and have a few questions I hope you can help with:

  1. Does RWTH follow a first-come, first-serve policy for applications? If I apply by February (will write GRE in January), will it reduce my chances of admission?

  2. I have done Bachelors of Software Engineering. So, I am missing some credits in theoretical computer science. I emailed the dept and they said that i can miss 21 credits at most. and I am missing some 18-20 of them. So, will i have to complete those courses in German if admitted?

  3. Also, my credit translates to 1.85 ECTS. Hence a 3 credit hr subject doesn't equals 6 ECTS (they have 6 credit hrs as requirement for most subjects). So will this deficit also count?

Mechanical Engineering vs Computational Engineering Science

Which one of these programs is considered harder and what are the main differences and similarities? Also, what are the job and master’s perspectives for each, especially for CES because I can’t find much on that on the internet? Thank you so much.

RWTH courses in English.

Hi, I'm from Chile and I have the oportunity to study in Aachen for one semester. Here in Chile I'm studying a career related to Business informatics and the courses that I have to pick are Data Analysis, Web Applications Development II, Business Modeling and Organizational Redesign, Service Quality Assurance, Strategic Implementation, Project Management II and Social Responsibility.

The problem is that I'have been reviewing the handbooks in the uni page and are very few courses (in BA and CS) taught in English, or some are imparted in summer semmester (I will go in winter). It will be very helpful to know if I am right or wrong or if I am searching in the right way, maybe someone have a way to search better before I try to change to some university in Hamburg or Munchen.

The only courses that I have found related to the above and taught in English in winter are: Data analysis, business modeling, strategic implementantion and social responsability.

I choosed Aachen because was more cheap than Hamburg and Munchen, but I don't want to fall behind in my career (it will be one year more to pay here in Chile).

PD: Sorry to ask this things that are "googleable" but the more I search the more I get confused.

May someone teach me how to choose courses

Hi guys I hope you are all doing well

I'm a Chinese student, and I'll be going to RWTH Aachen as an exchange student for the summer semester of 2025.

I'm currently trying to fill out my Learning Agreement, but I'm a bit confused about the course selection process on RWTH Online.

Here are my questions: 1. I noticed there aren't many courses listed under "2025 S." Does this mean the full course list hasn't been updated yet? 2. Is there a way to find a complete list of courses for reference?

Any advice or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot

Data Stream Management and Analysis Seminar

Has anyone taken this seminar? What are your thoughts on it? Did it help you find an interesting thesis topic?

Also, the course says it will be offered as a block seminar next semester, what does this mean?

Thank you.

Can someone elaborate more on this?

Hello, I want to apply for masters at rwth, my desired course is unrestricted, I am an international coming from a non-EU country. I was looking at the requirements and there is this section I don't think I fully understand.

"Because of these admission requirements, besides the application at RWTH Aachen, an examination of the professional suitability tested by Examination Board of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is necessary."

I think this means there is further assessment aside from the requirements, if I'm right can anyone elaborate please on what this assessment entails and how I can prepare for it?

How hard It is to get into ETH Zurich for pursuing Phd?

I am currently doing my Master Thesis in Faculty 8 in RWTH. It would be safe to say I have decent note below 2.0 and a recommendation letter from my supervisor. I am very intrigued by a department in ETH which aligns with research question that I am trying to address in my thesis. I had applied to the positions in that particular department but got a rejection. I had a german level of B1.

I would really appreciate if any alumni from Rwth shed their insights of how they had got into ETH?

How difficult is EE or ME at this uni?

Hi, i'm currently a student in the Netherlands in EE but the study here is extremely difficult only 30% get their bachelors in 4 years and almost of the people who make it are internationals (sadly i'm dutch)(The study is officially 3 years). Also, my univeristy has a rule if you fail 3 out of 12 subjects in the 1st year you're out of the study and are not allowed to retry this study for 3 years.

My 2 questions are:

1 What is the graduation rate for EE at RWTH (I could not find it online)?

2 Does the university have the same rule if you fail subjects in the 1st year?
