University - The Particular

Braunschweig is one of the most active research regions in Europe. Over 20 world-renowned research facilities in the vicinity and industrial global players have close links to the Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig, or TU Braunschweig for short. Our students have the opportunity to work with our partners and later, with the right qualifications, to pursue a doctorate there.

It is the students who make the campus especially attractive. After all, in the "Sandkasten" (sandpit) project, students design open spaces, study environments and foyers themselves. They develop and construct attractive and practical items, such as seating furniture for working, debating and chilling out, and have initiated a garden project.

Background - The Insight

TU Braunschweig got its name "Carolo-Wilhelmina" from its founding fathers, the dukes Carl and Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Lüneburg. One of its past students was the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. Winning the title of "City of Science 2007" was something special. Together with the city, research facilities, Braunschweig University of Art, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, and business partners, TU Braunschweig rocked the region for a whole year. We continue to be shaped by this spirit to this day – as is evident by many of the events held at the Haus der Wissenschaft (House of Science), for example.
