- HTW Berlin is a comparatively young institution. In 2014 it celebrated its twentieth anniversary as an independent university of applied sciences.

HTW Berlin offers over 70 study programmes in the areas of technology, computing, business, culture and design.

The Unforgettable Experience I Wish to Have
Although, I’ve not been admitted yet into HTW Berlin, but I’ve read beautiful things and posts made by past and present students from this university. I would like to have the experience of learning from this great institution of study. I would love to associate with people from diverse cultures and nationalities and share great ideas and experiences with them too. We have a lot to learn from one another. Together, we’ll make Germany and the entire world GREATER!
