A center entirely focused on science, innovation and industry, away from the noise of giant metropolises like Berlin or Munich that come to mind when engineering education in Germany is mentioned: located in the heart of the state of Lower Saxony, in the peaceful atmosphere of the Harz Mountains, the Clausthal University of Technology (TU Clausthal) has been shaping Europe's technical vision since 1775.
Why TU Clausthal?
While many technical universities in Germany (TU9) teach in classes of thousands of people, TU Clausthal makes a difference with its professor-per-student ratio. Here, as a student, you are not just a number but a researcher candidate directly involved in research projects.
