TU Braunschweig Summer School

Summer Schools are a great opportunity to combine theoretical knowledge with exciting practical experience. Together with students from all over the world, you can develop your academic skills, learn German, make new contacts and experience German history and culture in TU Braunschweig's Summer School courses.

TU Braunschweig looks back on a history of almost 300 years and thus has the longest tradition among technical universities in Germany. It is one of the nine leading technical universities in Germany and has two clusters of excellence and around 200 international partnerships.

The main campus of TU Braunschweig is only a few minutes' walk from the historic centre of the city of Braunschweig with its many picturesque half-timbered buildings and medieval townscape.

Ideal conditions for innovative summer school courses at a traditional location.

During the course of the week, students and researchers from around the world will form teams based on their interests and expertise. All teams will participate in entrepreneurship seminars and design an innovative business plan based on their research and academic work. They will also be able to select one of four tracks focusing on a particular area of interest: Engineering Design, Digital Business Opportunities, Industrial Sustainability, and Healthcare.

Our summer course has a long tradition: Every year we offer a 4-week intensive course in German language and culture during the summer semester break. In this course you will learn German in small groups at 4 different language levels. You will have 6 lessons on each of the five weekdays, during which you will improve your grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary at the language levels A2, B1, B2 and C1. You will also learn a lot about German culture and regional studies.

The classes will probably take place online this year. They will be accompanied by an extensive excursion and social programme. The way the programme takes place will depend on the hygiene regulations that apply at the time. At present, we expect to be able to offer much of the programme in small groups, but some of it may only be possible online. We will visit historic towns, museums and regional companies. We will see some of TU Braunschweig’s research facilities and have innovative research projects explained to us. During field trips we get more familiar with the nature and culture of the region. Fun activities and enough free time to explore Braunschweig on your own round off our programme.

The course is aimed at students and young professionals from all over the world who want to use the semester break to improve their German. It is particularly suitable for all students from our partner universities who are planning to study at TU Braunschweig in the following semester.

Metrology – the science of correct measurement – is an essential cornerstone of our modern industrialized society. Metrology has an impact on practically every aspect of our lives, and metrological progress is a key enabler for technical development and, thus, for innovation.

In 2007, TU Braunschweig and one of the top measurement institutions in the world, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), joined forces to establish the Braunschweig International Graduate School of Metrology (B-IGSM), in order to foster metrological knowledge in all areas of science and engineering.

Every year, the Graduate School offers an international summer school on current research topics in metrology. The programme for this year is in preparation. The realisation will depend on the development of the Corona pandemic in the upcoming months.
