The Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (HTW Berlin), a university of applied sciences, offers an impressive range of study programmes in five different departments spanning fields from engineering, computer science, and economics to culture and design. Traditional applied sciences like mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, and business administration go hand in hand with more contemporary and innovative studies such as information technology / networked systems, construction and real estate management, or renewable energy systems technology.
With more than 14,000 students and over 70 different Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes, HTW Berlin is one of Germany's larger-sized universities of applied sciences. It is regularly recognised for the high quality of its study programmes and cultivates ties with over 130 universities worldwide, thus maintaining strong bonds with collaborative partners. At its two campuses, the HTW Berlin hosts more than 3,000 international students.
The HTW Berlin encourages research and development projects as well as innovative education and cultural programmes. Topics focusing on the information society are dealt with as well as energy-related issues and environmental problems. Whereas some business-related research concentrates on promoting entrepreneurial start-ups and improving the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, other research addresses social economics and political issues such as European and national labour market policies or the effects of globalisation.
