About Technische Universität Berlin
Technische Universität Berlin traces its roots to the Royal Technical College founded in 1879, which brought together Berlin's academies of building, trade and mining. After the Second World War it was refounded in 1946 as a university with a broader mission, including humanities and social sciences alongside engineering. Inventors such as Konrad Zuse, who built one of the first programmable computers, studied here.
Today TU Berlin is one of Germany's largest technical universities, with strengths in computer science, electrical engineering, process and energy engineering, urban planning and architecture. It is part of the Berlin University Alliance with Freie Universität, Humboldt-Universität and Charité, which jointly held Excellence status, and it works with Berlin's many research institutes and tech start-ups.
