Technische University Berlin Germany

Technische Universität Berlin is located in Germany’s capital city at the heart of Europe. Our activities focus on achieving four sharply-defined core goals: building a distinctive profile for our university, ensuring exceptional performance in research and teaching, providing our graduates with excellent qualifications, in addition to a forward-looking approach to efficient university governance. The TU Berlin strives to promote the accumulation of knowledge and to facilitate technological progress by adhering to the fundamental principles of excellence and quality. Strong regional, national and international networking with partners in science and industry is an important aspect in all these endeavors. the university research and teaching endeavors are characterized by a broad spectrum of academic disciplines, ranging from engineering science to natural science, planning science and economics, as well as the humanities and social sciences.
TU Berlin is committed to providing its students with international experience and imparting cultural competencies through international exchange programs . This is not surprising given that nearly 5800 of our students come from other countries. They make up about 22 percent of the overall student population of our university; the average for the rest of Germany amounts to barely 13%. These students come from 130 countries, the majority of them from China, Turkey and Poland.
Nearly 1000 BerlinTechnische University students take advantage of exchange programs offered by the university’s Akademische Auslandsamt (International Office) in association with more than 280 partner universities both in Europe and overseas. Most of our partner schools are located in France, Great Britain and the United States. In close cooperation with international universities in France, South Korea, China, Poland and Great Britain the TU Berlin offers a total of 14 dual degree programs. Our “Career Center” offers further possibilities for our students to gain international experience by arranging traineeships all over Europe through the EU program “LEONARDO DA VINCI”.
We provide our international students with a number of support mechanisms: for instance individual counseling and specially-tailored courses. Even before officially starting their university studies, students have access to preparatory courses in language and specialized subjects. Our Modern Language Center (ZEMS) offers a wide range of foreign language courses.
