Fachhochschule Wiesbaden

Very easy to get carried away and do high level ones, but when it comes to exams be wary - very strict marking. Check out as many lecturers as possible as it is their teaching which will affect your eventual pass/fail!

There are now very good computers at the Uni, but no printers. Teaching is generally eratic, with some lecturers very passionate about their subject and others boring. Uni is on at least two camus', so I am only reviewing the business one.

The FH Wiesbaden has an excellent design department, but it is not as good as the faculty thinks it is. The Communications Design portion of the department has more students and more resources than the Interior Architecture half. The photography courses are good. Some of the "Projekt" courses are not. The drawing teachers are not so great at teaching, even though they are successful artists.

Design is taught very differently in Germany than in the U.S. In America, we had several short projects throughout the semester to do. We worked very quickly, and all the time! In Germany, and maybe Europe as a whole, students tend to have one semester-long project for each class that they take, and they only really do any work for the last month or so of a class. German design students do not "really" take any other classes besides design-related ones (e.g., Art History courses in which one studies, has exams, and writes papers, or any sort of course in which you write anything!).

Prefer any VM or BWL course, they are easier than IBA!!

It's not the academic life the problem The problem is that our geman is...crap when we arrive here!!!

Unlike the UK, personal ideas are not encouraged. You will get highest marks in exams if you repeat what the tutor has said in seminars.

More interaction with local students and more concessions for foreign students in exams and lessons.

Don´t take Marketing 1 with Jugel. North is a super teacher for international students
