Profile
Dating back to 1745, TU Braunschweig is Germany's oldest technical university. Facilities include a library, a sophisticated computer center, a sports center, a language laboratory and media library, a high magnetic field laboratory, and the Center for Water-Wave Experiments in Hannover. Total enrollment: 13,509 (960 international).
Location
In this industrial and research center, many beautiful and well-preserved churches, castles, public buildings, and theaters keep the city's medieval and Renaissance grace alive. The old city center is an island surrounded by a canal; the TU campus, next to the museum of natural history, overlooks the canal. A public transportation network is available to students at no cost. Braunschweig is in lower Saxony, about 30 miles east of Hannover, on the train line and highway to Berlin and Warsaw. Berlin, Hannover and Leipzig are easily accessible by train. For nature lovers the Harz Mountains offer ideal opportunities for hiking and skiing.
