Invitation To Study Car Engineering In Germany
By Sonia K. &Yusrin Junaidi

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Brunei Darussalam, Conrad Cappell, welcomed Michael Kurth, Managing Director of University of Karlsruhe, in a reception yesterday at his residence.

Mr Kurth was in the country on behalf of the Carl Benz School of Engineering at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.

It enables students from across the globe to attain a degree in engineering from the world-renowned German Research University of Karlsruhe.

"A lot of students go abroad for studies but only a small number of students go to Germany.

"So we would like to invite more students from Brunei to study in Germany.

"It's much easier for us to study at the Carl Benz School of Engineering as we teach in English.

"We cover a whole wide range of engineering and courses, such as car technology, and industries such as machine tools, printing and packaging.

"The requirements are excellent qualifications from high school education like `A' Levels.

These prospective students will also have to go through an interview and an entrance exam.

Our prospective students are those who are fascinated by engineering, car technology and car development.

"Every year the school of engineering only takes 25 to 35 students, so it's pretty limited," he said.

During the reception, Kurth, invited guests to take a look at the smallest remote controlled research car in the world, the Maybach, one of the world's most luxurious cars.

The remote controlled research car is only 6.5 cm long.

It took the research team six years to develop this one of its kind remote controlled Maybach.

The other activities for the Carl Benz School of Engineering are all in the field of life science and small manufacturing systems like small turbines.

Many outstanding scientists, including Carl Benz, the pioneer of automotive technology, and Heinrich Hertz, who proved the existence of electro-magnetic waves, have contributed innovative technological ideas whilst being members of the University of Karlsruhe.

At the Carl Benz School, the programmes are specially designed for English-speaking students from abroad. A German Engineering Degree in Karlsruhe gives students the advantage of acquiring both theoretical knowledge and first-hand experience in the practical application of this knowledge.

At the Carl Benz School of Engineering, students have the opportunity to take modules in applied cultural and economic studies; such courses help foreign students familiarise themselves with the European business environment. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
