Electrical and Computer Engineering

With 28 Chairs and four junior professorships, the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with its motto “thinking in systems,” is one of the largest faculties at the TU Dresden. The course offerings and research opportunities are correspondingly diverse and cover the whole spectrum of this field of study. The faculty not only enjoys connections with international universities and research institutes, but also with industry partners. Students receive a hands-on education and can make important contacts for their future careers early on.

Computer Science

Six decades of research and teaching experience characterise the largest computer science training facility in Saxony. The Faculty of Computer Science covers the entire spectrum of computer science, and teaches and researches at the highest level: internationally oriented, outstandingly industrial and scientifically networked, with state-of-the-art technologies and up-to-date. Its research serves to develop new technologies for the future: the Internet of Services, Cloud Computing, Data Security, Big Data and Interactive Visual Computing exemplify numerous fields of research that give new impetus to teaching. In addition, "Silicon Saxony" takes software research to a new dimension.

Mechanical Science and Engineering

"Technology transcends borders" – for over 180 years, the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering, with research and teaching in the service of technology, stands for people. With 5,600 students, it’s the largest faculty at the TU Dresden. The five diplom courses of study - mechanical engineering, process engineering and natural materials technology, materials science and mechatronics and renewable energy systems - unite 25 specialties, from general mechanical engineering to food technology, from energy efficiency to applied materials science and from lightweight to aerospace engineering.
