Some faculties are further broken down into departments. Additionally, all faculties are broken up into multiple institutes.
The Technical University of Braunschweig keeps up contacts with nations around the globe. Partnerships with more than 60 nations and 400 universities and research institutions currently govern the exchange of lecturers, students, and information with various foci. The collaborative scientific alliance brings together the strengths of the TU Braunschweig and the Leibniz Universität Hannover. Additionally, the university collaborates with many local scientific institutions.
Future City, Metrology, Mobility, and Infections and Therapeutics are the four key areas on which the TU Braunschweig concentrates its research. Researchers at the university work closely with those from other Braunschweig research centers. Future intelligent cities are being developed by researchers at TU Braunschweig. The goal is to develop solutions for Smart Cities that are effective, eco-friendly, wholesome, social, and green.
