Technical University of Berlin
The historic Technische Universitat Berlin is one of Germany`s largest and most internationally renowned technical universities. The range of services offered by our seven faculties serves to forge a unique link between the natural and technical sciences on the one hand, and the planning, economics and social sciences and humanities on the other. These disciplines find concrete expression in around 40 Bachelor`s and 60 Master`s programs. Many of these are indeed unique. TU Berlin is the only university in the capital region offering engineering subjects. Scientific achievements are built on basic research in the natural science disciplines of chemistry and physics, and mathematics, in addition to strongly innovation-oriented research in e.g. engineering and computer sciences. The fundamental problems facing modern societies and the science community can no longer be assigned to individual disciplines, as transdisciplinary approaches are now required. It is at these very interfaces that TU Berlin sees its bright future and its mission to promote innovative research topics and new degree programs. Beyond its own borders, both domestically and abroad, our university is the motor, initiator and beneficiary of numerous academic and professional networks with partners in science and industry. Strategic alliances and numerous start-up activities serve to promote hands-on knowledge and technology transfer.
TU Berlin has a long and rich tradition and is recognized globally as an excellent research university. Our goal is to continue to develop science and technology for the benefit of our society. The members of the university are wholly committed to the principle of sustainable development which tackles contemporary challenges without further burdening future generations. For us, research and teaching are inseparably linked. Using innovative, technology-oriented and holistic methodologies we are contributing to the shaping of a better future. We are fully aware of our responsibility vis–vis society not only due to our history, but also because we must uphold ethical and humanistic oriented standards in our research and teaching endeavors. It is against this background that research and teaching in the natural, planning and engineering sciences are inextricably linked with the humanities and social sciences. Our university members are actively engaged in promoting equal opportunity between women and men and in creating family-friendly study and working conditions. We strive to ensure equal opportunity and non-discrimination at all levels of the university organization. In our teaching and research we also explicitly embrace the plurality of world views and diverse ways of life. We carry out basic and application-oriented research at a top international level. On the basis of our comprehensive spectrum of disciplines we establish fields of future scientific focus and promote cross-faculty research activities and networks with external actors. TU Berlin is an attractive educational institution in which students acquire the academic and social competencies they will need for their careers and to actively shape the society of the future. The broad range of subjects offered by TU Berlin provides students a transdisciplinary scientific education, which in turn is an expression of the university`s societal and global responsibilities.
