President's Welcome Message

Inhalt der Seite President's Welcome Message

Dear student or prospective student:

You are considering studying or conducting research at the Technische Universität Braunschweig, one of the German Institutes of Technology. We appreciate your interest and would like to give you an introduction to our institution.

Today, out of a total student community of around 15'000, there are nearly 1'600 non-German students, from well over 80 different countries, studying here for their first academic degree or within bilateral exchange programmes. Over the years, the TU Braunschweig has developed educational links with a great number of foreign universities both on the individual and the institutional level. There are official co-operation agreements with universities in Western and Eastern Europe, the USA, Canada, South America, China, Japan and Indonesia. Within the framework of the SOCRATES/ERASMUS program there are student exchange programs with more than 180 universities all over Europe and this network of partners is expanding all the time (see our brochure).

We greatly value the international nature of our university community. By studying or conducting research here, you will contribute to this process, bringing something of your culture, awareness and outlook to the common search for knowledge and skills.

We cordially invite you to become a part of our university community and very much hope that your stay will be a rewarding and enriching experience both academically and in terms of your personal life and development. We wish you success during your stay at Braunschweig.

Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff Headcount: 1,350

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.

In case of dual citizenship, the 'deciding' criteria should be 'citizenship obtained through birth', basically first passport obtained.
