Why Choose the ICS Degree?

Global Career Prospects

  • If you plan to work for an international company, the ICS program will prepare you for overseas assignments and collaborations.

Cultural Competence

  • Working with colleagues from different countries requires more than knowing time zones. By living and studying in Germany for a year, you'll gain firsthand experience in navigating cultural differences and developing essential cross-cultural skills.

International Network

  • In Ulm, you won't just meet Germans; you'll connect with students from all over Europe. This is a unique opportunity to build an international network of friends and future colleagues.

Independent Learning

  • The German education system emphasizes self-directed learning. Professors expect you to take charge of your education, making it an ideal environment for self-starters.

European Work Opportunities

  • A degree from a German institution can open doors to employment in Germany and potentially other EU countries. 

Financial Aspects

  • Âé¶¹´«Ã½Tuition: Pay Âé¶¹´«Ã½tuition while studying at THU.
  • Living Costs: Generally lower living expenses in Germany, freeing up funds for travel and other activities.
  • Financial Aid: Maintain your Âé¶¹´«Ã½financial aid and access additional funding opportunities from RHIT and THU.

Program Structure

  • Year 3: Spend a year in Ulm, Germany, taking classes with international peers.
  • Year 4: Return to Âé¶¹´«Ã½with your Ulm classmates for the final year.

What Our Alumni Say

Andy Sadler
Andy Sadler

’21, International Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics.

I think going abroad opened my eyes to other, non-American perspectives of the world. It gave me a lot of necessary context for working with folks abroad. Most people I interact with on a frequent basis aren't American, and there's been times where that's come into play in my role. I don't think I would be nearly as successful as I have been without this experience abroad. Being able to work with folks who live overseas is something really important to the style of open-source engineering we do at my current role.
