Why TU Darmstadt?

“My name is Mia and I am from Germany. I am studying industrial with civil engineering.

I personally chose TU Darmstadt and thereby Darmstadt because of its good reputation and I was excited to be challenged in a new way. I started becoming more and more interested in science and technology throughout my senior year of high school, so my choice was actually pretty spontaneous.

Darmstadt has many facets. I started liking it even more with time going by.

You can go party, have cozy nights at parks, go get coffee in some sweet coffee bars but nevertheless it is still close to nature, so you can escape from city life.

Actually yes, it gets very stressful at some times and you will have to work hard, but I would choose TU Darmstadt again.”

Often it is personal impressions and recommendations that help us make important decisions. That's why we have collected all the reasons in this blog post that persuaded our Ambassadors to decide to study at TU Darmstadt. We also have some statements, like Juan's, in the video:

Diego: “Since middle school, I wanted to study engineering because of my fascination with robots and autonomous systems. The decision between mechanical and electrical engineering (and where to study) was not easy for me at the beginning, but in the end the answer was very clear for me: mechatronics in Germany, and at TU Darmstadt.”

On the topic of careers, Patrick also has a lot of information for you in his blog post, such as how the TU supports your path to self-employment. But read it for yourself!

TU Darmstadt offers eleven Master's programmes in English – a reason for many international students to choose TU. This is also the case with Moiz from Pakistan:

Moiz is studying the English-language Master's programme in Materials Science on Lichtwiese campus. This means he is well equipped for a future career in the national and international automotive, aerospace, chemical, semiconductor, healthcare and energy industries! Would you like to learn more about the English-language Master's programmes? Then have a look at our blogpost:)

Laura is also studying one of our English-language Master's programmes:

“TU was one of the closest universities to my hometown, and convinced me with its focus on technological methods that are also used in the humanities,” says Laura.

Moritz is also going in a similar direction with his degree programme:

In fact, as the name suggests, TU Darmstadt is a technical university. A large part of the courses offered are therefore engineering courses. But there are also humanities and social sciences, and of course natural sciences such as biology, physics and chemistry. And what could be more natural than for these different disciplines to work together in an interdisciplinary way? Masha agrees:

Catalina's degree programme is also interdisciplinary:

Catalina feels comfortable in Darmstadt. “The location also played a role. The city is not that big, but it's cosy, and there are also many students from whom you can always learn something and with whom you just spend your time well,” says Catalina. Read more about Darmstadt in our blog post about student life in Darmstadt.

TU Darmstadt also offers bilingual programmes, such as the Master of Arts Linguistic and Literary Computing:

Before coming to Darmstadt, Polina studied German in Russia and elsewhere in Germany. What Polina appreciates about studying in Darmstadt is the possibility to create your own schedule and choose your courses freely. “In Russia this is not possible – the schedule is the same for everybody!”

Almost one fifth of all TU students come from abroad. We are quite proud to have such a large proportion of international students! For students who come to TU from Hesse or the neighbouring federal states, this is a win-win situation. Studying at a renowned, international university that happens to be close by – what more could you want? That's how Julia from Wiesbaden also decided on TU Darmstadt:

Whether you're already a local or you're coming from further away, the #studentsofTUdarmstadt have photographed their favourite places for you and made a blog post out of it! This way, you can make yourself familiar with our city.

If you decide to come to TU Darmstadt, you can also make the perfect start to your studies with these support services.
