University in Berlin
Technische Universität Berlin
The University of Applied Sciences [TU], founded 1946, looks back over a long and distinguished tradition of teaching and research. In 1799 its most important predecessor, the Building Academy, was founded. Eighty years later, the fusion of the Building Academy and the Vocational Academy led to the founding of the Royal Technical College of Berlin. In 1946 the university was re-established under the name of Technische Universität Berlin, or TU Berlin.
Nowadays the TU is one of the largest German Institutes of Technology. With its core subjects in natural sciences and engineering, the TU Berlin also has faculties and institutes specialising in planning, humanities, social sciences and economics.
The TU will continue to attach the same high level of importance to international contacts as well as close contacts with industry and commerce. Currently, the TU Berlin cooperates with some 200 higher education institutions all over the world. In order to increase the international acceptability and comparability of the degree qualifications it awards, the university is increasingly offering bachelor and master degrees. 20% of the students at the TU Berlin are from foreign countries. For many years the university has worked together in close cooperation with major companies such as Siemens, DaimlerChrysler and institutions such as the Heinrich-Hertz Institute.
As an important element of the technical-industrial and cultural infrastructure of the city, the university is also keen to make its contribution towards shaping the future of the region. In order to make the best possible use of the potential at the university, Centres of Excellence will be established. TU Berlin is not only a place for university teaching and research. It also provides training for 138 apprentices in technical occupations, the largest number provided by any one institution in all Berlin.
