HTW Berlin

HTW Berlin (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin) is Berlin’s largest university of applied sciences, focused on practice-oriented teaching and applied research in engineering, computer science, business, design, and related fields. It operates mainly across two urban campuses in the eastern districts of Karlshorst (Treskowallee) and Oberschöneweide (Wilhelminenhof), with strong ties to Berlin’s industry and startup ecosystem. Programs are delivered largely in German, with a growing set of English-taught and internationally oriented degrees. The university emphasizes project-based learning, dual/cooperative study options, and collaboration with companies and public partners. It is a state (public) Fachhochschule rather than a traditional research university, while still maintaining applied research institutes and transfer activities. HTW Berlin is known for applied STEM and business education, modern labs and media facilities on the Wilhelminenhof campus along the Spree, and a sizable share of international students within its overall enrollment.
