What makes Technische Universität Berlin distinctive
- As a public university there are no tuition fees — you pay only a modest semester contribution.
- Several Master's are taught in English; many Bachelor's are German-taught, so language proof must match the programme.
- Competitive programmes can carry a numerus clausus (NC) — admission depends on your grade in a limited cohort, not a fixed acceptance rate.
- Applications for international qualifications often route through uni-assist for pre-checking.
