With its 9,000 students, the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg is the second largest university and the only technical university in the state of Brandenburg. Its degree programmes are highly regarded within Germany and worldwide. Key to this success are the many collaborations in both teaching and research that BTU actively pursues not only with other universities and research institutions but also with local small and medium-sized companies as well as large international organisations and enterprises.

Together with professional training, postgraduate research studies, and Ph.D. programmes, the resulting wealth of educational paths can be shaped according to individual preferences and potential. BTU offers small study groups in a personal atmosphere, high teacher-student ratios, practice-oriented teaching, and modern buildings and research facilities, which help to create an excellent learning environment. BTU graduates acquire top qualifications for demanding careers in industry and academia.
