Studying at the TH Mittelhessen

Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (Uni. of Applied Sciences Mittelhessen)


Having been among the earliest MARA students to enroll in and to graduate from the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen or THM (formerly known as Fachhochschule Giessen-Friedberg), I feel obliged to promote this college to other fellow MARA as well as others (JPA, YTM etc.) to study here.


THM with campuses in Giessen (main campus), Friedberg and Wetzlar, is the largest public university of applied sciences in the state Hesse.


For the undergraduate courses - the courses which are taken by us MARA students are mechatronics and mechanical engineering.

THM's website

However many more courses are available, such as E&E, EIT, ICT etc.


THM's official website is http://www.thm.de/site/ .

Under 'Fachbereiche', one can find the list of the faculties of THM.


The mechanical engineering courses - with different majors, are divided into both campuses Giessen and Friedberg.


Mechatronics engineering course falls under the latter faculty 'FB 12'.


As of now, in the Summer Semester 2012, there are three JPA students who are undergoing Master's course in THM Campus Friedberg. Certain Master courses like their's are conducted in English.


Malaysian graduates from TH Mittelhessen


Until now, as of Summer Semester 2012:-

• Mechanical engineering (Friedberg): 2 MARA students (Diplom)
• Mechatronics engineering (Friedberg): 1 MARA student (Diplom)
• Medical engineering (Giessen): 1 MARA student (Diplom)
• Biotech/Biomedical (Giessen): 1 private student (Diplom)
• Information and Communication engineering (Friedberg): 1 private student (Master)

The town Friedberg


Friedberg is situated between Germany's financial hub city Frankfurt am Main and Giessen.
Both cities are easily reachable via railway transports.


Enrolled students in the state Hesse usually have the 'RMV-Semesterticket' - which is also counted in the semester fees, and allows students to freely ride public transports like buses, trams, regional and subway trains within the region covered by the consortium RMV. So the question of mobility for students in Hesse is hardly a big issue here.


To be able to reach the large and hectic Frankfurt for shoppings, weekend hangouts etc while living peacefully, with relatively low living costs in Friedberg - is what the town Friedberg does have to offer to us students.


Applying for a placement?


Simply go to the section 'Bewerbung + Immatrikulation' at the website.


On behalf of the students in Friedberg, I would like to urge Malaysian students, who are aiming to study in Hesse especially in the town Friedberg or Giessen, to approach us, if our asssistance is needed.
