You can choose from an extensive range of course offers provided by all seven faculties and you can even take exams. The program for school students is free. The only requirement is the agreement of your school.

In addition to the “Studieren ab 16“ program, school students also have the option to try out a degree program at TU Berlin and find out about daily life at the University. This allows you to visit any course you like from the course catalogue.

These courses teach the specialist language used in mathematics, physics, and economics and conclude with a German language assessment test.
