Relevant ET more than 120 years of experience as a subject at university; integration with local research institutions and with business / industry; high research relevance and practical feedback = best research-oriented study conditions including attractive participation for students (especially in the Master) in research projects; high individual support during studies; very great freedom of choice in studying; high proportion of ET; very trusting cooperation between teachers / students; real combination of Economics and ET parts with both ways of thinking / acting.
Special features regarding the international orientation
High proportion of non-educational students and non-educational academic staff (doctoral students); The proportion of foreign students in the faculty (ET and WI.Ing.ET) is around 19%. For academic staff, it is around 15%. More than 30 (!) nations (from Europe and beyond) are represented. Dissertations can also be written in English. Another special feature: Highly renowned in the international science community – as a result, many international research partners (science and industry).
Exchange universities for stay abroads

Other special features
Very close cooperation with PTB (= Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, from 2015 joint appointments, joint graduate schools, training, and joint junior research groups); participation in interdisciplinary research centres - also in joint sponsorship with industry (Nds. Vehicle Research, Laboratory for Emerging Nanomaterials); high level of internationality among (M.Sc.-) students and academic staff.
