What succeeds: TU Chemnitz

When the "Königliche Gewerbschule" (Royal Vocational School) started in 1836, it was nowhere near the size of today's TU Chemnitz. Almost 9,800 students from over 90 countries now study and research here. The university is a real powerhouse for the region.

At the third largest university in Saxony, everything revolves around three major areas of competency: "Materials and Intelligent Systems", "Resource Efficient Production and Lightweight Construction" and "People and Technology". There's a call for progressive, sustainable solutions with great benefits for many.  

Almost 100 degree courses are offered here, some of which aren't available anywhere else. For example, it's the only place in Germany offering the new Master's programme "Semiotics and Multimodal Communication". What is the relationship between speaking and gesticulating in everyday life? How are verbal and visual language linked in the media, on the web, in computer games and in virtual reality? The answers to all these questions are being sought at the TU Chemnitz.

The SAXEED start-up network at the TU and at the Chemnitz Technology Centre is very practical: anyone who wants to set up their own business after graduating can receive tips, funding opportunities and first-class contacts to help them on their way. Around 200 spin-off companies and over 900 jobs initiated since 2002 are evidence that it works! The TU Chemnitz doesn't have a reputation as a start-up university for no reason. By the way: the TU cooperates with 130 partner universities on all continents.
