What students say

Via StudyCheck · 2024-2026: an aggregated rating, not our own assessment, paraphrased in our own words and never quoted.

4.1 /5

Seven StudyCheck reviewers rate the programme 4.1/5 — above TU Berlin's 3.7 university average. Literature access, course content and lecturers score highest, and reviewers single out research groups counted among Germany's best in fields like chip design. Thesis supervision is praised but described as chair-dependent, with some chairs exceptionally well equipped. The recurring pattern matches TU Berlin's wider reviews: teaching quality is valued while university-level organisation draws criticism, and the workload is remembered as demanding — hard to combine with paid work. Digital provision is strong, with extensive lecture recordings retained since the pandemic.
