How Does Teaching Work at Technische Universität Berlin?

Technische Universität Berlin is a truly open university that offers outstanding academic training in a wide range of subject areas to all young people who are suitably qualified and who share our goals. We offer 120 degree programs enabling our graduates to take on positions of responsibility in a globalized world and to contribute to improved living conditions for all. Our students learn to think both critically and analytically, to question assumptions, and to apply their thinking and action within a greater historical, social, and cultural context. They develop values and convictions that help them make decisions that also affect other people’s lives. Academic teaching at Technische Universität Berlin is inspired by research and knowledge gain.  

All this requires teaching of the highest quality, both in terms of content and how that content is taught as well as implemented and practiced. Technische Universität Berlin offers its professors and teachers many options to discuss their ideas and work with each other as well as continuing education programs and platforms for discussions about teaching methods. The University is committed to strengthening and raising the status of teaching.  It also seeks to provide its students an opportunity to take on the role of teacher and its student-led project labs have long played an important part in this.  The coronavirus pandemic has now shifted the focus onto digital teaching - a development which opens many new doors to change and innovation.

TU Berlin awarded seal for the Quality Management of its degree programs

Technische Universität Berlin has been awarded the seal for system accreditation for its degree programs. The Accreditation Committee of the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (ZEvA) reached its decision in July 2021 on the basis of a vote among its external assessors. Accreditation was awarded unconditionally. This means that the quality management system in teaching and studying is certified for a period of six years, enabling TU Berlin to conduct its own accreditation for degree programs.

The seal is proof that TU Berlin guarantees that qualification goals and quality standards are achieved for its degree programs on the basis of its internal quality assurance system for studying and teaching. This eliminates the need for program accreditations from external agencies for each degree program.
