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. TU Braunschweig's flagship engineering faculty. Not on the university's own confirmed English-master's list, despite aggregator claims otherwise — the ninth-university confirmation of the project-wide rule that aggregators cannot be trusted for language of instruction.

Deadlines & timeline

Deadlines differ by where your degree is from. Dates change every cycle, so always confirm on the official page before planning. Where no fixed calendar date exists or none is confirmed yet, the Details column explains each case.
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.

Semester ticket
included (Deutschland-Semesterticket)

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.

What students say

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

3.9 /5

TU Braunschweig's mechanical engineering master rates above the university's own average, with course content, literature access and lecturers scoring highest. Reviewers value the breadth — mechanics, thermodynamics and materials science on top of strong maths and physics foundations — and, particularly at master's level, a wide choice of electives and specialization paths, plus dual-degree options for a second international qualification. The combination of theoretical grounding and practical application is the recurring positive; the early semesters are described as demanding and very theoretical. Note the language: this is a German-taught programme, so these reviews should not be read as describing an English-taught route.
