levied once (approx. 170 EUR). The HTW Berlin levies
a fee of approx. 300 EUR per semester. This amount
includes HTW Berlin Student Services fees, a

Student Union fees, and HTW Berlin administration
fees in accordance with relevant government
legislation.

About the university

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 13,000 students and over 60 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 2,000
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.
