Study abroad

The International Office of the Technische Universität Braunschweig is your contact for general advice on studying abroad, application processes/visas, and funding. For further information, visit the website of the International Office.

The Chair of Production and Logistics offers special advice regarding the content of lectures and the approval of academic achievements in the field of production and logistics. For this purpose, a request can be sent. An exchange plan with the desired equivalents as well as the course description at the partner university should be attached and can be submitted in advance for certain lectures. This enables us to directly check whether an approval is possible. If necessary, we will also invite you to meet us in person in order to clarify any open questions.

Contact person: Dr. Alexander Barke

With regard to the approval of academic achievements, you have various options. For example, our advanced bachelor studies, parts of our master's studies, or the advanced master's studies can be approved. Only complete modules will be approved. It is not possible to approve partial achievements from a module. Additionally, there is the possibility of the approval of student work after prior agreement. For further information, see below.

Contact person: Dr. Alexander Barke.

• For the approval of equivalent achievements, the workload must be at least 6 ECTS.

Master's programme

Within the master's program, there is the possibility of approval of different modules. Further information can be found here. There is the possibility of approval of single modules (5 ECTS) or advanced master studies (10 ECTS). The following basic rules apply:

For some exchange programs and scholarships, a letter of recommendation from a university professor is required for the application.
