Technische Hochschule Brandenburg

About

Located in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany, Technische Hochschule Brandenburg is a practice-oriented public university renowned for its strong academic focus on engineering, business administration, and media informatics. The institution is particularly well-regarded for its applied computer science and technology programs, which closely integrate hands-on laboratory work with regional industry partnerships. While most undergraduate degree programs are taught in German—requiring prospective international students to demonstrate proficiency such as TestDaf or DSH—the university also offers select international components and partnerships that facilitate global academic exchanges. International students benefit from a dedicated International Office that assists with orientation, administrative formalities, and integration into campus life within a historic, mid-sized German city. A distinctive characteristic of the university is its compact, modern campus housed on a former historic brick site, which fosters a close-knit, collaborative community where professors and students interact in small, accessible learning groups.
