About TU Berlin

TU Berlin is Berlin's leading technical university, founded in 1879 and consistently ranked among Germany's top five universities for engineering and computer science. Located in the heart of Berlin — Europe's startup capital and a major tech hub — TU Berlin offers zero-tuition engineering and computer science master's programs taught in English, with only a semester administration fee of ~€311 applying. The university's Berlin location is its key differentiator: graduates have direct access to Berlin's SAP, Zalando, Delivery Hero, HelloFresh, and N26 offices, as well as the broader European tech and venture capital ecosystem concentrated in the city.

TU Berlin's international student support is extensive, with dedicated international student advisors, a housing exchange platform, and integration courses for new arrivals. Part-time HiWi positions in university research departments provide €450–€800/month supplementary income. Berlin's relatively lower cost of living compared to Munich or Hamburg — combined with its outstanding cultural life and transport network — makes TU Berlin the most lifestyle-competitive option for Nepali students considering German technical universities. Germany's 18-month post-study job seeker visa applies to all TU Berlin graduates.
