This programme is taught in German — confirmed by exclusion from TU Braunschweig’s own international application page, which names only four English-taught master’s programmes plus one bilingual. German B2 (to apply) / C1 (to enrol) is the TU Braunschweig pattern; the exact level is not stated on the programme page. Replaces the phantom "Quantum Engineering" entry on the original shortlist, which turned out to be Leibniz Universität Hannover's programme, not TU Braunschweig's. CHE ranks TU Braunschweig's Biology and Biotechnology in the top group nationally — a genuine subject strength — but it is not among the university's own four named English-taught master’s programmes, which is what settles it as German-taught.

Deadlines & timeline
| Who | Intake | Deadline | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-EU applicants | Winter semester | Non-EU/EEA applicants close 15 March for a winter start — the tightest confirmed non-EU master's deadline on the platform, four months before the EU/EEA date. APS processing (required for India/China/Vietnam) backs up in New Delhi exactly Jan-Mar, so start APS in autumn for a winter start. | |
| EU / German-degree applicants | Winter semester | EU/EEA-degree holders (and holders of a German degree) apply directly, without the uni-assist step. |

TU Braunschweig is a Lower Saxony public university — €0 tuition for all students, including non-EU. The semester contribution is €472.50 for WS 2026/27, confirmed at primary source on the TU Braunschweig Immatrikulationsamt notice of 15.06.2026 ("Der Semesterbeitrag für das Wintersemester 2026/27 steht fest! Er beträgt 472,50 €"), made up of the Studentenwerksbeitrag, the Studierendenschaftsbeitrag and the Verwaltungskostenbeitrag. This is up from €440.00 in WS 2025/26–SoSe 2026 — the rise tracks the Studierendenwerk OstNiedersachsen increase and the nationwide Deutschlandticket tariff recalculation of 1 July 2026 — and it now sits €19.34 above neighbouring LUH's €453.16. No application fee to TU Braunschweig, but a non-EU/EEA degree requires uni-assist. Refundable under conditions (e.g. leave of absence), up to two months after semester start.
Scholarships are listed per university: see TU Braunschweig scholarships.
