A campus-based university with a distinct profile

The Chemnitz University of Technology offers outstanding education to its students, providing them with various and attractive career perspectives. Every year, more than 750 foreign students from over 70 countries are enrolled at the university. They are supported by the International Office (Internationales Universitätszentrum), which is in charge of areas like "Studying in Germany", "Study and Internship abroad" as well as "„Support of scientist mobility". Due to numerous exchange programs, you can meet students from Chemnitz all over the world. The CUT holds partnerships with more than 100 universities on all continents to support the internationalization of university training.

By 2007, the present degree system will have been transformed into a dual degree system with all courses offered at CUT leading to internationally acknowledged Bachelor's and Master's Degrees. More internationality, comparability and practical relevance are but some advantages of this dual degree system within the European educational environment. Chemnitz University of Technology has elaborated a future-oriented concept for development which ensures uniqueness and emphasizes the university’s strong points. It supports research structures beyond the boundaries of individual faculties at CUT.

Six research profiles express the interdisciplinarity of the university:
  • New Materials
  • Life Cycle Production
  • Microelectronics and Microsystems Technology
  • Client-oriented Configuration of Linked Value-Added Chains
  • Communication, Media, Technology
  • Modelling, Simulation, Scientific Computing

The special research and transfer fields of the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) demonstrate the excellence of research at CUT. Together with postgraduate programmes and competence centres, they provide the foundation for numerous innovations. Numerous interdisciplinary courses are shaped by several research fields. For example, the Bachelor's and Master's Course "Computational Science" comprises Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences whereas Media Communication consists of Technology, Economics, and Journalism.
The equipment of the laboratories is on an equally high level. The Center of Micro Technologies including its clean rooms is an acknowledged partner of numerous international chip producers. In the “Virtual Reality Center Production Engineering” of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, constructions and layouts for manufactures are visualized three-dimensionally in a new quality.
At CUT, the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst -DAAD) established the first integrated international Master's and Postgraduate Course in "Mathematics". After four semesters students can earn an internationally acknowledged Master's Degree, followed by a Postgraduate Degree after six more semesters.
