Global approach

Transport and mobility, together with sustainability and climate protection, must be thought about and developed globally. The transport sciences exchange with areas of the TU Dresden such as computer science, materials research or psychology. We cooperate with top universities worldwide, including in China and the USA. You can benefit from this during your studies, e.g. in exchange programmes.
