organisation profile

Founded in 1745, the Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig is Germany's oldest technical university and looks back on a two and a half century tradition of academic teaching and research. When the University admitted its first students in the middle of the 18th century, the curriculum encompassed most of the classical academic disciplines as well as technical subjects. In the course of industrialization the technical disciplines gained more importance and in 1862 the former Collegium Carolinum became a Technical University. The University's name commemorates the Dukes Carl and Wilhelm of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, under whose patronage the Carolo-Wilhelmina developed into one of the country's leading teaching and research universities. Today the TU Braunschweig is the centre of one of the most active German research regions. The university has more than 14,000 students and employs 2,600 staff members, 1,600 of whom are scientists and researchers. It is organized in 10 departments and 111 institutes, offering a wide range of courses and research opportunities. In addition, a great deal of teaching and research takes place in interdisciplinary programmes, laboratories, and centres whose work extends beyond traditional departmental boundaries.
