The Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung calls the Ilmenau University of Technology a "jewel in the East." And the Süddeutsche Zeitung claims it is "among the most innovative scientific institutions in Europe, according to specialists." This praise is repeatedly borne out by Ilmenau's scientists through their outstanding research achievements: They construct highly precise scales, develop extremely energy-efficient "green" electronics, and research a new generation of dynamic human-machine teams in production .
What applies to research also applies to teaching at TU Ilmenau. The degree programs are modern, research-oriented, and interdisciplinary. This has a strong appeal both in Germany and worldwide. Graduates of TU Ilmenau have excellent job prospects.

To sustainably secure its research expertise, innovative capacity, and the quality of education, TU Ilmenau particularly supports early-career researchers in their individual career planning. The central point of contact for all doctoral candidates, postdocs, junior and tenure-track professors is the Graduate Center, which offers excellent framework conditions, personal advice and an interdisciplinary qualification program.
Exciting future topics such as safe and environmentally friendly mobility, bio-inspired technology, networked communication, and sustainable economic models also shape the traditionally strong engineering-oriented field. The Ilmenau University of Technology (TU Ilmenau) offers a wide range of study programs with more than 40 Bachelor's and Master's programs in engineering, information technology, business and media studies, as well as mathematics and natural sciences.
Students from around 100 nations study together at TU Ilmenau on equal terms and shape the vibrant university campus with its unique cultural and club scene, actively involved. In addition to four volunteer-run student clubs, Germany's oldest student radio station, university film club, student television, and numerous professional initiatives, the TU Ilmenau is enriched by an academic orchestra, a big band, and a chamber choir.
At TU Ilmenau, students benefit from excellent support from the first day to the last. The offerings range from the orientation program, the "Freshers' Week," to guidance from first-year tutors and mentors, creative work in student workshops, the final thesis, and finally the graduation ceremony. During the first four semesters, students acquire essential scientific, technical, and business fundamentals applicable to all engineering programs.
Examination of your secondary school leaving certificate
TU Ilmenau will determine whether your secondary school leaving certificate (Baccalauréat, Matura, Higher Secondary School Certificate, etc.) is recognized in Germany or whether further preparatory studies (besides language courses) are necessary for university admission.
Your language certificate will then be reviewed.
The university requires applicants to submit a recognized language certificate as proof of proficiency in the language of instruction for their degree program. German or English are the languages ??of instruction offered at TU Ilmenau.You can find information about the language certificates here.
Review of your documents and bachelor's degree

In 1895, the nucleus of today's university was created in the city centre of Ilmenau: the Old Technical Centre (Altes Technikum), today the Curiebau, and in 1926 the New Technical Centre (Neues Technikum), today's Faradaybau. Today, t... read more
With the foundation of the School of Electrical Engineering (Hochschule für Elektrotechnik) in 1953 under the direction of Prof. Hans Stamm, the academic training of graduate engineers began. Teaching started with no more than 268 students. Now specializing in electrical engineering, electrical mechanical engineering and precision engineering/optics, the HfE was divided into five departments:
The University Computer Centre, the University Library, the University Language Institute, the University Athletics Centre and Thuringia's Patent Center (PATON) were founded as central institutions. In 2002, the Center of Micro- and Nanotechnologies was added as another central institution, and in 2009 the Center of Power Technologies.
The association Kulturelle Koordinierung e. V. (KuKo) was founded in 1991 and is home to numerous associations, e.g. the AG Keramik, the AG Foto and the AG Phantopia. The KuKo is also affiliated with the University Movie Club (HFC), the hsf Studentenradio e. V. and the Jazzclub e. V.
With a second major construction phase on the university campus from 1999 onwards, numerous ultra-modern functional buildings such as the Humboldtbau, today the central teaching and event building with the Auditorium Maximum, the Newtonbau and the sports hall were built.
In the course of the "Bologna Process" the study at the TU Ilmenau was reorganized from 2005 onwards and the previous Diplom-Ingenieur programs were converted to the Bachelor and Master degree programs.
