Studying at ITM
There are several options for you to successfully complete a degree programme at the Institute of Textile Machinery and Textile High Performance Materials Technology (ITM):
- Diploma degree programme in Mechanical Engineering / specialisation in Processing Machinery and Textile Machinery Engineering (VTMB) with a specialisation in Processing Machinery Engineering or Textile Machinery Engineering
- Master's degree programme in Textile Machinery and Textile High-Performance Materials Technology after a previous B.Sc. degree
- Focus on Textile Machinery and High-Performance Materials Engineering in the Industrial Engineering and Management degree programme (undergraduate course) and in the Industrial Engineering and Management Master's degree programme (postgraduate course)
- Comprehensive study programmes for students from other disciplines at TU Dresden and other universities as part of the studium generale, special courses, expert seminars, dissertations and diploma or master's theses as well as for foreign students via Erasmus and E-Team

Studying at ITM
Technical textiles are omnipresent and Germany is the global market leader. The fields of application are diverse, from fiber composites and medical textiles to textile architecture and membrane construction.
By studying at ITM, each of you has the opportunity to become part of this industry. As a student at the ITM, you will enjoy an excellent education in an interdisciplinary research environment, with opportunities to specialize in mechanical engineering, material modelling, lightweight construction, measurement and sensor technology, assembly technology, machine development and biomedical engineering.
The ITM conducts cutting-edge research and is one of Europe's leading research institutions in the field of textile mechanical engineering and technical textiles with a large number of major research projects and application-oriented EU, SFB, AiF & ZIM projects. The ITM has a globally unique infrastructure for the successful implementation of teaching and research projects. The interdisciplinary research environment at TU Dresden and the presence of numerous non-university research institutions are also of particular importance. This environment and existing networks enable the ITM to rapidly develop completely new machine techniques, technologies and innovative products.
The university degree program in Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering provides students with the technical prerequisites for working as academically trained engineers in the industrial sector as well as in research and teaching. The technical knowledge imparted in the modules of the foundation course and the skills and abilities acquired in mathematical, scientific and engineering fields, as well as the ability to carry out independent scientific work and act responsibly, form the decisive prerequisites for successful study in the comprehensive field of textile and assembly technology.
All lecture scripts, schedules for lectures, exercises, practical trainings as well as the announcement of exams, subjects for assignments/theses and according templates can be found on OPAL.
