The university opened its doors in 1991 with just 17 students in the mechanical engineering degree program. Today there are around 3,600 students (as of 12/2017), ensuring that the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (“TH Wildau” for short) keeps its familiar atmosphere. Our Mission Statement is Excellence, Responsibility, Collaboration, Partnership, Quality, Performance, Autonomy, Participation, Balance, Sustainability. On a modern and compact campus with a direct rail connection to Berlin, aspiring academics enjoy an ideal environment for their studies in a range of disciplines covering the natural sciences, engineering, economics, law, business administration, and management. Degree programs at a university of applied sciences are very practically oriented. The practical orientation of our degree programs 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. Its potential for scientific innovation and development and its practically oriented academic offerings are what make TH Wildau a desirable partner for innovative small and medium-sized businesses and large international firms. Collaborations include designing the curricula for our degree programs, project work for students within the companies, and joint research activities. This allows students to gain valuable practical experience in various fields even before they have completed their studies, making them an attractive choice for businesses when starting their careers. TH Wildau actively promotes international exchanges for students and researchers. It is for these reasons that the university cooperates with more than 100 partner universities around the world. We have contacts through our traditional partnerships in Eastern and Southern Europe and links to Asia, Latin America, the Arab world, and Africa. Students have a wide range of attractive options for spending a semester studying or working abroad, learning foreign languages, and interacting with other cultures. Since 2001, TH Wildau has been among the most robust research universities in Germany. Academics are working in over 40 research groups dealing with the latest topics in applied and fundamental research. This has given the university its reputation as a center of excellence in key scientific disciplines. The university specializes in applied biosciences, information technology/telematics, optical technologies/photonics, production and materials, transport and logistics, and management and law. Following the university’s mission, quality, quality development, and quality assurance in teaching, research and administration are measures of our interactions on all levels. They provide the necessary transparency and form the basis for comparisons within our university and with others. The quality management system used by TH Wildau has been certified according to education standard DIN ISO 29990 since 2012. This gives students objective confirmation that the teaching in Wildau conforms to recognized international standards. TH Wildau is a manageable campus university.
