| Overview |
THIS PROGRAM IS OPEN ONLY TO STUDENTS ALREADY SELECTED BY OPP (College of Engineering). TU Braunschweig provides its students with outstanding conditions for forward-looking research and teaching in 124 institutes and departments. The academic core disciplines of engineering and natural sciences are closely linked to economics, social sciences, the humanities and education. Students benefit from the proximity of first-rate external research institutions in the region and from a wide range of cooperation agreements with industry. These provide the chance to participate in current research projects through seminar papers, dissertations and doctoral theses. Due to the supervision involved, the number of places is extremely restricted. Participating students gain intercultural competence during their research internships and experience student life at a German university.
