In 1745, Duke Carl von Braunschweig-Lüneburg was the first to lay the foundations for a technical university by founding the Collegium Carolinum. “Nec aspera terrent” – even adversities shall not deter us – this motto of the House of Welf also applies to Technische Universität Braunschweig.
The campus is located at the heart of one of Europe’s most active research regions. With more than 20,000 students and 3,700 staff members, we are the largest Institute of Technology in Northern Germany. Our core disciplines include a comprehensive engineering branch as well as a strong natural sciences branch, closely linked with business sciences, social sciences, humanities and educational sciences.
We stand for a strategic and achievement-oriented way of thinking, dedicated teaching, multi-layered networking with our partners in science, industry and society, and intensive international cooperation projects. Our core research fields are mobility, infections and therapeutics, metrology and the city of the future. By pooling our research activities in these areas, we can make significant contributions to overcoming major societal challenges.
