Founded as Bochum’s first mining school in 1816 the Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola (THGA) stands for competences on the field of engineering for more than 200 years. Today, with future-oriented emphases like Mineral Resources Engineering and Post-mining, Material Efficiency, Product Development and Production, Smart Energy or Energy Efficiency, the THGA connects its traditional know-how... with a modern focus. Companies are very interested in THGA graduates, because of their special practical and theoretical education. As a private, state-approved university of applied sciences the THGA has close relations to the industry and to international partners.
The THGA is open: International students are welcome at our campus! Currently we have students from more than 30 different countries studying at the THGA. Nevertheless everyone knows everyone at our small, familiarly university. We do not have overcrowded lecture-halls, but small learning groups. Foreign students are able to study all subjects the THGA is offering. Almost all of our subjects can be studied full-time or in part-time – by the way: without tuition fees.
since 1816 the TH Georg Agricola University of Applied Sciences (THGA) has a special position under the big range of universities in Germany.
Its unique features are represented with its specific culture of almost 200 years of tradition and its special profile: The THGA stands for tremendous practice-oriented engineering education. The THGA promotes a kind teaching and learning culture. It also stands for openness for young people impartially from their origin. The variety of study courses is flexible which helps students to organize their studies individually.
The THGA has a very good esteem. Not only its students and its alumni, but also partners in economy, science and society, as well as national and international partners appreciate the university’s reputation.
The THGA is leading on the field of raw material science in Germany. It works with well known universities all around the world on the same level.
„Think global, act local“– with this slogan the THGA identifies itself with the Ruhr area and especially with the city of Bochum. The THGA works dedicatedly together with other local universities in the network of UniverCity Bochum and participates on the structural change of the city and region.
On the one hand we have a high request of engineers and on the other hand we have the growing number of young students at the THGA. Considering these requirements the THGA has a bright future perspective and is carrying out this way.
You can only be admitted to a Bachelor"s degree program if your high school diploma entitles you to attend a university of applied science (Fachhochschulreife) or a research university ("allgemeine Hochschulreife") and you have completed a six weeks internship before enrolling.
Applicants for Master"s degree programs must have a German Diplom or Bachelor"s degree. The final admission decisions are made on the basis of the student"s overall grade point average. Applicants may have to take qualification tests for certain fields and programs.
International applicants must provide proof of a university degree that is equivalent to the German Bachelor"s.
International applicants must present transcripts and other documents that prove that they are entitled to attend a university in their home country, and that this entitlement is equivalent to the German Fachhochschulreife. Alternatively, they can present (a) documents that show that they have passed the tests granting them the Fachhochschulreife, or (b) foreign documents recognized by the Ministry of Education that show they have obtained the Fachhochschulreife or the allgemeine Hochschulreife.
Chinese applicants are also required to present the certificate granted by the Academic Testing Center (Akademische Prüfstelle – APS) of the German Embassy in Beijing.
Moroccan applicants must attend a one-year college preparatory program (Studienkolleg). Alternatively, they can present a general or technical baccalauréat along with documents showing that they successfully completed one year of studies in Morocco in a degree program similar to the one they are applying for
The three main pillars of the TH are raw-materials, energy and environment. Those pillars contain major challenges for the future of the region, but as well as for national and global development. Our current main priorities divert from those pillars:

• • Raw materials and Post-mining

Industrial production techniques and material-efficiency

• Smart Energy and energy-efficiency

The university development plan of the TH provides that the research priorities are going to be developed further in their field of competences of the TH in the next years.
Next to the main priorities the scientists at the TH are dealing also with a lot of other research topics.
From designing machines and equipment to developing mechatronic systems to utilizing renewable energy, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Matrial Sciences explores a wide range of subjects. Interdisciplinary projects at the Faculty look at issues such as programmable logic controllers for simulating materials handling processes in factories. Or analyzing chassis and quality management programs for the automotive industry.
TH Georg Agricola tackles issues relating to climate change in its energy development program. From biofuels to wind turbines and solar energy – it fosters a sustainable energy mix and clean supplies of energy with processes for renewable power production.
The applied material sciences research the properties, safety characteristics and quality of materials, and develop products using renewable materials. In their research, they look at both the financial issues and the technical aspects.
