Internationalization@home

The world at home at TU Berlin! TU Berlin is an international university with about 200 research cooperations and almost 500 exchange programs for students. The proportion of international students is over 22%. They represent 143 countries (2018). More than 900 visiting scholars also come to our University year after year.

Internationalization@home helps to promote intercultural competence at TU Berlin. On the one hand, a basic intercultural qualification of all students is necessary in order to cope with the international study environment. On the other hand, students should be prepared for their future in a globalized world and for an international job market.
