• Study in production engineering at the University of Technology Aachen (RWTH)
• Completion of all core courses, excluding two electives and the diploma thesis.

Required Application Documents:

• Official paper by ZPA - previous courses
• Resume (Curriculum Vitae)
• Personal Writing (motivation, experience, qualification, practice, proposed courses - 2 pages)
• Proposal for Diploma thesis
• Description of studies plus evaluation

Additional Information:

• Completed Boston University Application Materials and sixty dollar ($70) application fee (non-refundable)
• Photograph
• Contact address
• Reports
• Financial information
• GRE or GMAT's scores
• TOEFL scores if English is not the applicants native language

The application is best send in at least one year in advance. Master Courses at the BU start in September and January. Early application is recommended due to rolling admissions and limited class size. The only exception that allows a late application is if students already have taken the TOEFL and the GRE test. All applications will be send to Boston University where final admission will be granted.

Boston University is responsible for the visa application process. The German student then will receive the "I 20" form, with which the student is able to apply for a visa at the US-Embassy in Germany. The service organisation Servisum is one option among others for application assistance.

If you have any questions regarding the application process, please contact the Global Manufacturing Program at r.schmitz@wzl.rwth-aachen.de or call +49/ 2 41/ 80 -28 214.
