13,000 students learn here today. With its 111 institutes and seminars that are organized into six faculties, the TU Braunschweig offers excellent conditions for future-oriented research and teaching. The classic subjects of engineering, the natural sciences, humanities and the social sciences are an important column of academic education. Specializations like scientific calculation, medical computer science, material science and mechatronics supplement the offering. Students can also decide on especially praxis-oriented disciplines, such as interdisciplinary degree programs like business computing, business engineering, informational system technology, finance and business mathematics, biotechnology and geo-ecology.
Soft-skills are a “must” from the beginning at the TU Braunschweig, also for degree programs in engineering and the natural sciences. The students are not only offered an excellent advising relation, but also especially qualified teachers and lecturers – the Kompetenzzentrum für Hochschuldidaktik (Competence Center for University Didactics) of Niedersachsen didn’t settle here for nothing.
Braunschweig has one of the largest “densities of academics” in Germany at its disposal. With a large number of reputable research institutions, this city has an academic-supported innovation potential that is incomparable in Germany. A key position belongs to the Technischen Universität. The researchers of the TU as well as the students profit from the dense network of long-term cooperations and collaborative projects. Through thesis papers, final theses, dissertations and jobs in the other research institutions, students have a number of possibilities to do their own research.
