   What you can study

   TU Darmstadt is associated with computer science, electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, business informatics, political science, and other subjects introduced as scientific disciplines by its faculty.

   How it compares

   Among 326 universities in Germany, TU Darmstadt stands out for its technical and research emphasis rather than for a broad general profile. Its strongest signal is in engineering and computing-related fields, so it will appeal more to applicants seeking those areas than to someone wanting a small specialist college or a purely general university.
