The Faculty of Engineering offers a wide spectrum of disciplinary (related to one department) as well as interdisciplinary (related to two or more departments) degree programs in attractive and innovative fields. This includes national as well as international degree courses, where the latter are partly taught in English and require to study one semester abroad.

The study plan (curriculum) lists all courses which the students have to pass in order to complete their degree course, including a recommendation on the semester arrangement of the courses (i.e. which course to take in which semester). The Faculty of Engineering organizes the study plan with a course database, which gives easy access to the content of the respective courses.

Detailed Schedules are provided each semester, that detail time and location of each course.
The Examination Plan indicates the date, time and place of each examination.

In order to maintain a high level of teaching quality, the Faculty of Engineering evaluates its courses regularly. The participants in the lectures are asked to rate and comment their classes in the middle of each semester. Due to this early time, the lecturers are able to discuss the results with the students even before the end of the term.

The Support Center for (International) Engineering Students (SCIES) acts as a help desk for all study-related questions in the Faculty of Engineering. The mission of SCIES is to support all students at the Faculty of Engineering and to help them gain the best from their experiences at the University of Duisburg-Essen. SCIES consults in questions with the studies, helps in administrative matter, supports in finding accommodation and is in all questions the first level support for the students.

The Office for Industrial Internship is the contact point to get information related to industrial internships as well as for reaching in the certificates related to the internship.
