Our EES Program 

The 3C Module System

The 3C module system is the framework for every program at Jacobs. It outlines which courses you need to take during your time here, and when you need to take them. Additionally, the "3Cs" encompass the goal of Jacobs Univeristy: giving students an interdisciplinary education that will set them up for the future. 

The 3Cs broken down are: CHOICE (year 1), CORE (year 2), and CAREER (year 3)

CHOICE: Your first year at Jacobs is the year to establish your foundation, while also taking courses from a different area of your choice. 

CORE: Second year Jacobs students focus on the essentials of their major. For EES, your second year will be the bulk of your undergrad eduation, and the "core" of your degree. 

CAREER: Students in their third year have several options at Jacobs for their 5th semester. We offer two "CAREER" plans: Campustrack or Worldtrack. Campustrack students stay on campus to take additional CORE classes in another field, finish necessary credits, and work a bit on their bachelor thesis. Worldtrack students either take an internship of their choice for 4 months, or go abroad to one of the partner schools Jacobs has. All students return for the 6th semester.
