Bach­e­lor Plus MINT (B.​Sc.)

Infos zum Studienbeginn

Brief description of the programme

In the Bachelor’s programme Bachelor Plus MINT, students are introduced to different subjects in the fields of mathematics and computer science as well as in the natural sciences, technology and engineering (STEM subjects; in German: MINT). The Bachelor’s programme typically takes eight semesters to complete. The study programme allows new students to personalize the transition from secondary school to university based on their individual interests and level of prior knowledge.

Before they take the main six-semester programme, students complete an introductory year that caters to their interdisciplinary interests and helps them identify their personal academic affinities. During the introductory year, students acquire a broad overview of the most important aspects and subject-specific methodologies of the different STEM subjects.

After completing the introductory year, students can specialize in the following areas: Biophysics, Chemistry, Computational Linguistics, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Quantum Engineering, and Systems Engineering.

Starting winter semester 2022/2023, students in the programme will also have the opportunity to focus on business administration, either by choosing the specialist area Physics and Management or by choosing Business Administration as a subsidiary subject alongside another specialist area. In both cases the introductory year is replaced by 60 ECTS credits of business administration courses.

The programme is designed to take four years, allowing students to choose modules and courses that reflect their individual needs and interests.  Students who wish to add a stronger practical component to their studies can undertake a work placement/internship or participate in a research project for several months, for which they can earn ECTS credits. It is also possible to participate in general interdisciplinary courses (Studium Generale) or to take a more specialized approach and focus on two academic disciplines.

How to apply

Entry restrictions do not apply to this programme. Students can begin the programme at the beginning of the winter or summer semester, though we recommend starting in the winter semester. Students proposing to start in the summer semester should contact the course advisors and the university's study counselling services to discuss their individual study plan.

You can enrol in the first semester of this study programme directly via Saarland University's SIM portals. You do not need apply for admission beforehand. You must enrol by:

  • the end of September if you plan to start in the winter semester
  • the end of March if you plan to start in the summer semester.

Please note: If you want to switch subjects and plan to enrol in a higher semester of the new study programme ('higher-semester entry'), you will also need to submit an RPL certificate (RPL: recognition of prior learning) from the relevant examinations office.

Enrolment documents can only be submitted online during the enrolment application process in the relevant SIM portal.

If you have any questions about using the SIM portals, please check out our SIM Saarland help pages where you will find lots of useful information, videos and step-by-step guides.

Please only submit the documents required for your enrolment directly in the SIM portal when completing your enrolment application.

Ein naturwissenschaftliches Studium mit Blick über den Tellerrand

Der Studiengang „Bachelor Plus MINT“ hat Joe Posner überzeugt. Das achtsemestrige Studium vermittelt nicht nur einen Überblick über alle MINT-Bereiche und erleichtert dadurch die Entscheidung für ein Schwerpunktfach, sondern ermöglicht es den Studierenden, auch „fremde“ Disziplinen kennenzulernen. In Saarbrücken stehen gleich zehn Schwerpunktfächer zur Auswahl: Biophysik, Chemie, Computerlinguistik, Cybersicherheit, Informatik, Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, Mathematik, Physik, Quantum Engineering sowie Systems Engineering.
