Campus of TU Berlin


Offered courses

• More than 50 courses lead to different Diploma or Masters degrees

• Within those courses more than 100 specializations are possible

• Courses comprise all fields of Engineering, Natural Sciences, Economics, Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities

• Diploma courses are divided into two parts

– 2 years of basic studies (Grundstudium)

– 2 - 3 years of advanced studies (Hauptstudium)

• Grundstudium: Scientific foundations (e.g. Mathematics, Physics, ...)

• Only after completion of all examinations it is possible to start with the second part

• Hauptstudium: Research oriented specialization, completed by final examinations (Diploma, Masters, ...) and a thesis

• Currently additionally introduction of Bachelor and Master courses


Partnerships with Universities around the World

• TU Berlin cooperates with over 200 foreign universities

• Strong focus on partners from technologically advanced countries

• In recent years more and more scientific exchange programs with universities in Eastern Europe

• Partnership agreements also exist with Asian universities (China, Korea, Indonesia,...)

• These agreements cover

– joint research projects

– exchange of scientists and students

– sponsorships for young scientists
