Job opportunities

Because the full-day class lectures take place only two to three days per week in the first and second semesters, professional activities may be exercised to a limited extent, for example in firms and companies at the EUREF Campus.
The Career Service at Technische Universität Berlin offers a wide array of services for students seeking employment during their studies in Berlin as well as after completion of their degree programme.

Funding opportunities within the university
