Overview
The Summer Program at the Technical University of Berlin helps students gain insight into German culture, engineering and industry. The program combines intensive German language training with hands-on laboratory experience. Participants will join a TUB research laboratory and work on small project teams led by German graduate students. Lab work is complemented by visits to relevant scientific and industrial sites near Berlin. While there is no academic transfer credit for this work, students will establish useful connections for future internships or employment. This program has also earned the seal of quality from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
