The roots of the Technische Universität Berlin and predecessor institutions date back to the time of Frederick the Great. These included important educational establishments of the Prussian State such as the Royal Mining Academy established in 1770, the Königliche Royal Building Academy founded in 1799, and the Royal Trade Academy, which opened its doors in 1827.
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.
Such scientific achivements are built on basic research in the natural science disciplines of chemistry and physics, and mathematics, in addition to strongly innovation-oriented research in electrical engineering and the computer sciences for instance.
One obvious indication of the university’s performance and dynamic development is the increase in external funding for its research projects from around 125 million euros in 2009, to circa 179 million euros in 2014. For years, TU Berlin has been ranked as one of the top universities in Germany without a medical school.

I loved the clear structure and engaging course materials. The tutor support was excellent. To improve, more real-life examples would help. Overall, my study experience was positive, motivating, and well-paced, I truly enjoyed learning here.
TU berlin is a great university especially the IMES program and community behind it. Very innovative and modern teaching. Im very happy here, Berlin is fairly cheap and student friendly and has the best parties and nightlife in the world.
The study environment is good and the teachers are cooperative but they don't give attention to everyone and how the student is doing.
