The TU9 universities

Universities with Tradition
All of the TU9 Institutes of Technology can look back on a long tradition and enjoy an excellent reputation both in Germany and abroad. They were founded in the age of industrialisation and have shaped the development of engineering science ever since. Their scientific potential and their range of studies have grown continually over a period of almost 200 years.

 

Interdisciplinary Nature
Cooperation between different disciplines gives rise to innovation. Scientific learning means crossing subject boundaries. Creativity requires an interdisciplinary orientation. Students are expected to study subjects beyond their main discipline. An interdisciplinary nature is reflected in such combined degrees as industrial engineering, media studies and computer science, or biotechnology.


International Nature
As research universities, the members of the TU9 association have always been highly international. Close strategic cooperations with partner universities worldwide make an intensive exchange of experts and research possible.


With the internationalisation of teaching over the last 20 years, both opportunities to study abroad and also courses for international students have been systematically set up. Dual degree courses mean that, in addition to a degree from their home university, students can obtain a degree from a leading foreign university. The introduction of bachelor’s and master’s degrees has created excellent conditions for those wishing to transfer to a university beyond national boundaries.


The ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) makes it possible that credit points gained at foreign universities are recognised at the home institution. The proportion of international students at TU9 Institutes of Technology is above the German average.

 

Practice Orientation

Research partnerships and technology transfers enable students to gain practical experience in industry during their studies and to establish contacts for their later careers. The TU9 universities thus create excellent conditions for embarking on a career after graduation.

 

Practice-oriented research and teaching are reflected in TU9’s excellent contacts to large and medium-sized businesses. International and national businesses invest in research and teaching at TU9 universities, e. g. in foundation professorships or in the sponsoring of dissertations.

 

Locations

One can live well in the TU9 cities; students find attractive surroundings in all the locations with numerous opportunities for leisure-time activities.
