University - The Particular

Braunschweig is one of the most active research regions in Europe. More than 20 world-renowned research institutions in the vicinity and industrial global players have close links to the TU Braunschweig. 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. In the "Sandkasten" (sandpit) project, they design open spaces, learning environments and foyers themselves. They develop and build attractive and practical things: from seating furniture for working, debating and chilling to a garden project.

Background - The Insight

TU Braunschweig got its name "Carolo-Wilhelmina" from its founding fathers, the Dukes Carl and Wilhelm of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. One of the early students was the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. Winning the title "City of Science 2007" was something special. Together with the city, research institutions, Braunschweig University of Art, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, and business partners, TU Braunschweig rocked the region for a whole year. This spirit still shapes us today – visible, for example, in the many events held at the "Haus der Wissenschaft" (House of Science).
