Top athletic achievement and successful studies do not have to be mutually exclusive. This is why in November 2005, TU Berlin concluded a cooperation agreement with the Allgemeiner Deutscher Hochschulverband (adh), the Olympiastützpunkt Berlin, and Studentenwerk Berlin to become a “partner university of top-class sport”. The aim of the agreement is to better coordinate training and competitions with studies. Within the scope of its legal possibilities, TU Berlin offers a more flexible organization of studies, assistance with internships, personal support, and individual academic advising.
