Studying abroad? No problem at all! Thanks to the numerous international exchange programmes at TU Braunschweig, you can easily integrate semesters abroad into your studies. We will support you in advance with the recognition of your achievements abroad. Many of our students gain international experience during their studies.

Exchange opportunities:

• Europe: ERASMUS partner universities, e.g. in Italy, Spain, France, Finland, Turkey
• America: partner universities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and the USA
• Asia: partner universities in India, Japan, Korea and Taiwan

In addition, you can do internships in international companies.

Dual degree programme in the USA

Our dual degree programme with the University of Rhode Island (USA) offers you a special bonus: you spend the last year of your studies there and at the same time gain a Master of Science from TU Braunschweig and the University of Rhode Island.

Excursions at home and abroad are offered in a variety of ways. These will take you off the beaten track and you will bring back unusual and enriching impressions. Guest lectures by international experts will also give you an insight into views and issues that are topical elsewhere.

Civil engineers plan, organise and manage our entire infrastructure:

• from water supply and disposal,
• to roads and railways,
• to flood protection and water pollution control.

Civil engineers construct buildings:

• from the residential building to the administration tower,
• from the pedestrian bridge to the long-span sea bridge,
• from warehouses to factories.

Civil engineers guarantee the safety and sustainability of our buildings, our transport and supply systems, our coasts and waterways. In your future professional life, you will communicate with different people, manage and lead diverse projects and take responsibility for the protection of our environment.
