I chose Heilbronn because Heilbronn university provides the study programme on process and environmental engineering. All professors are very dedicated, responsible and wise. They can explain to students very well. Some professors will do a lot of exercises in class which helped a lot for the exams. Some professors has also experiences in the industries.

Tong Chia Qian

Industrial and Process Engineering

I chose Hochschule Heilbronn because I wanted to study environmental-related engineering. Studying process engineering with specialisation in energy research in Heilbronn is the decision I do not regret because the broad subjects in process engineering have prepared me well for my further studies at postgraduate levels.

Coming to Germany to start undergraduate studies in the German language was very challenging at the beginning. I could only make it through my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the German language because of the tremendous support and help received from many professors and tutors at the University of Heilbronn. My Professor had arranged different tutors for us in difficult subjects such as control engineering (Regelungstechnik) and material science (Werkstoffkunde). I am forever grateful to the training I have received in Heilbronn.

I am currently studying battery research at the PhD level in the UK. I intend to continue with the research in the field of energy storage after completing the PhD.

Process and Environment Engineering

I have decided to study at Hochschule Heilbronn because I like their course modules very much. Hochschule Heilbronn is also one of the best universities for process engineering. Students are close to their professors and the professors are happy to help students anytime. On top of that, Heilbronn is a beautiful and quiet town.
