The TU Berlin is keen to develop its profile as a technical university within the science and business location Berlin. The difference to the other regional higher education institutions is to become clearer. The international standing of the university is also to be improved.
In addition to the seven faculties, various centres of excellence are being set up. Faculties and scientific institutes are increasingly taking over administrative responsibilities from the central administration. In order to allow more flexible allocation of funds, a budgeting system is also being introduced. Efficient financial planning is becoming increasingly important as higher education in Berlin faces cut-backs as the city finds itself in dire straits.
There will also be changes in the university's administration. In future it will increasingly provide services for researchers, teachers and students, which are the administration's customers. The reform process will also involve measures for environmental conservation.
At the end of the reform process, a new TU Berlin will have emerged that is more attractive for students, university personnel, and also for outstanding international scientists.

Faculty
| Number of Faculty Staff | FTE: 1,991 |  |
| Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator. | ||

The five-point numerical scale is typically correlated with the A-F/A-E quality index. (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, E or F = 0.0) In our context, a value of 0 will imply to us that your institution has an "open access" admissions policy and will in no way count against your institution in any future table built upon this data.
