Open Eisenfeld
Knowledge should be accessible. With Open Eisenfeld, the university publishes selected course modules openly — complete lecture series, problem sheets and self-tests, free of charge and without any admission procedure. Whoever wants to go deeper will find the path from every open module into the matching degree programme.
Open modules
The open modules correspond to real first-year courses and are maintained by the same teaching staff as in the regular programmes. New modules appear at the start of each semester; existing ones are updated together with the study regulations.
- 01Introduction to programming with Python — 12 units, with exercises
- 02Foundations of robotics: kinematics and sensing — 10 units
- 03Mathematics bridging course for engineering — 8 units
- 04Machine learning: an application-oriented introduction — 12 units
- 05Everyday IT security: foundations for everyone — 6 units
- 06Digital circuit design for self-study — 10 units
How access works
All materials can be viewed without registration. To save progress and self-tests, learners create a free Open account — independent of the student portal. Open modules do not award ECTS credits; the content, however, matches the regular courses, so the transition into a degree programme is seamless.
From open module to degree programme
Anyone who has completed an open module knows TU Eisenfeld's teaching style, platform and standards first-hand. In a later application, participation can be cited as evidence of motivation; the advisory service recommends the matching programme based on the modules completed. The mathematics bridging course is expressly recommended to admitted first-year students.
