About
History
The university opened its doors in 1991 with just 17 students on the mechanical engineering degree programme. Today there are around 3,600 students (as of winter semester 2018/2019), ensuring that the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (“TH Wildau” for short) keeps its familiar atmosphere.
Education
Degree programmes at a university of applied sciences are very practically oriented. The practical orientation of our degree programmes and teaching is one of our distinctive characteristics. Students can carry out practical exercises and experiments with top-quality laboratory and computer technology. An optimal study environment allows creativity and enthusiasm for research to flourish.
Research
TH Wildau is one of the top research universities in Germany. Over 203,000 EUR was raised in third-party funding for each professor in 2015. In 2017, the university was once again able to raise 11 million EUR - two thirds of its budget. TH Wildau stands out in three key areas of research which have been recognised on the research map by the conference of vice chancellors:
- Applied life sciences
- Informatics/telematics
- Optical technologies/photonics
The university further specialises in the research fields of production and materials, transport and logistics as well as management and law.
