WELCoME To THE BTU CoTTBUS-SENfTENBErG

Dear prospective students,

Thank you for your interest in studying at the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. If you take a look around, you will see for your-self that our university is young, well equipped with modern buildings and has consolidated it’s reputation in society and in the scientific com-munity through the success of its graduates. You, as the student, are our focus!

The BTU offers you the option of organising your studies according to your individual needs; you can choose both courses offering research-oriented qualifications and applied courses. This corresponds to the profile of a technical college. This means you could initially choose to pursue a bachelor’s degree in an applied study programme and subsequently choose to study for either an applied or research- oriented master’s qualification.

The quality of study conditions, which are consistently ranked by the CHE (Centre for Higher Education Development) in the ’Zeit’ study guide, is partly due to the excellent teacher-student ratio; with over 650 teaching staff for currently 9,000 students. Graduates of our university have above-average chances on the job market.

As well as first-rate teaching, our university also has excellent tech-nical facilities, with ultra-modern laboratories, lecture halls and an extremely beautiful library.

I would be delighted to have the opportunity to welcome you to the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg in the very near future!

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. DSc. h.c. Jörg SteinbachPresident of the BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg

THE NATIONAL CODE OF CONDUCT rEGArDING FOrEIGN STUDENTS AT GErMAN UNIVErSITIES

The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg wants international students to feel at home at our university! It has therefore implemented the National Code of Conduct regarding foreign Students at Ger-man Universities. The universities who sign this code undertake, wherever possible, to grant international students and prospec-tive international students the same rights as German or assi-milated EU students. They should also be given access to advice and special support for the duration of their studies. The parti-cipating universities thus agree on common quality standards. The Code sets out how the admission procedure should be car-ried out, as well as the technical, linguistic and social support standards you can expect as a student at BTU.
