All key information on course offerings, applications, deadlines and entry requirements can be found on the website for prospective students; the Application ABC also answers many questions.
New: Master’s programme in Battery and Hydrogen Technology
Specialists capable of developing and implementing battery and hydrogen technologies are in greater demand than ever. With the new Master’s programme in Battery and Hydrogen Technology, which has restricted admission, TU Braunschweig is responding to this growing need. Students learn to understand, optimise and apply modern energy and storage technologies. At facilities such as the Battery LabFactory and the new training facility for circular battery cell production, students can experience technological developments first-hand.
New: Bioentrepreneurship specialisation
Also new is the Bioentrepreneurship specialisation, offered by TU Braunschweig in collaboration with the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI). This specialisation, which is unique in Germany and subject to restricted admission, is available within the Master’s programmes in Biotechnology and Technology-Oriented Management. Students learn to translate research ideas into innovative solutions, to think entrepreneurially, and to gain practical insights into the founding and management of biotech start-ups.
