If you prefer experimenting, tinkering or programming and would like to put the knowledge you have acquired during your studies into practice, you can work on your own racing car with the Lions Racing Team or take off with Akaflieg or ERIG. Try out what suits you.
Whether on stage, in workshops or in cockpits: 86 study programmes at our university naturally also contribute to the diversity and interdisciplinarity of everything that happens outside the lecture hall.

With the “Sandkasten” (sandbox) platform, students have the opportunity to make the campus more livable and sustainable with their own projects. They can receive project funding and guidance for their projects. Around 150 projects have already been implemented, such as the self-built open-bike sensors for more bicycle safety in everyday life, the "Feminist Café" event series, a science podcast or the wildflower meadow on the main campus.
You can also play an active role in the development of our university by participating in a number of committees and commissions. This also includes the AStA, the General Students' Committee, which is elected by the students every semester and is the official representation of our students towards the university and politics, but also for social issues. If you want to get involved in your own area of study and help shape the future of your study programme, it is also worthwhile to get involved in the relevant student councils.
Whether you prefer the gym or fitness centre on campus, relax in the massage chair, play beach volleyball or even try out sailing, parachuting or climbing, with more than 200 classes per week in 100 sports, our Sports Centre offers the broadest sports programme in the region.

At TU Braunschweig there are a variety of different events, many of which are free of charge, that are open to you as a student and to anyone who is interested - perfect for broadening your own horizons or discovering the campus from a different perspective together with your fellow students.
We consider it important to bring all members of our university together outside the lecture hall and to make what happens at our university visible to the public. For example at "Profs at Turntables" our professors play music for a good cause in the clubs of Braunschweig. You can also broaden your horizons at lecture series, listen to comcerts of the orchestra or the university choir, talk to experts from various faculties and much more.
