Founded in 1828, The Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden) has developed into one of Germany’s largest technical universities. TU Dresden is famous for its research and education in Engineering, Technology and Business. Ten years ago, TU Dresden received the distinction to be included among Germany's eleven 'Universities of Excellence'.
The university has 17 faculties and 119 degree programmes where approximately 29 000 students study. It has strong global outlook and 20% of the student body is international, so you can expect a vibrant and highly cosmopolitan campus.
Our agreement is in the area of Business Information Systems under the Faculty of Business and Economics, which specialises in interdisciplinary research, characterized by a strong methodological orientation and a prominent focus on technology topics. The agreement is aimed at GBI students looking for an opportunity to dive deeper into the field of Business Informatics with a quantitative twist.
About Dresden
Dresden is located in Saxony and has long history of both glorious and tragic events. Once a seat for Saxon dukes and later kings, Dresden developed into an important center of European Culture, politics and business throughout the 18th century. Two centuries later it suffered destruction of apocalyptic dimension in connection with world war II.
Today, Dresden's Altstadt is meticulously reconstructed, but Dresden offers more than Baroque splendour, across the Elbe you will find newer districts such as Neustadt renowned for its street art, craft beer and all that modern Germany has to offer.
Close to Dresden lies Saxon Switzerland National Park, a paradise for rock climbers and hikers. For further exploration, Dresden is conveniently close to both Prague and Berlin.
