International Exchange: It has a high degree of internationalization, with students and faculty from all over the world. It actively carries out international cooperation and exchanges, maintains close cooperative relations with first-class research institutions, and provides students with good scientific research opportunities.

History

In 1828, during the transition period from the first to the second industrial revolution, the Institute of Technology was established to train skilled workers in mechanical engineering and shipbuilding and other technical fields.

In 1838, systematic engineering and natural science education began.

In 1851, it was renamed the Royal School of Technology, and the subject areas included mechanical manufacturing, civil structure and chemistry.

In 1865, teacher training in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences and qualification certification of professionals began.

In 1871, it was renamed the Saxony Royal Higher Comprehensive Technical College and introduced humanities.

In 1883, the German-style Diplom engineer education examination system was implemented.

In 1890, it was renamed the Saxony Royal Polytechnic Institute.

In 1900 In 1907, it officially began to enroll female students, and it was one of the first universities in Germany to lift the ban on women. In 1924, several research institutes such as the Institute of Electronic Technology and the Institute of Automotive Technology were established. In 1946, the first batch of 450 students were enrolled in the three colleges after World War II for teaching. In 1961, the current official name of Dresden University of Technology was established. In 1990, it merged with nearby Tharandt University of Forestry and other institutions. In 1994, it became a comprehensive university with 14 colleges including natural sciences, engineering, medicine, economics, education, law, agriculture, and forestry. In 2005, it began to convert traditional Diplom and Magister degrees to Bachelor and Master. In 2006, it became a member of TU9, the alliance of nine excellent technical universities in Germany, and was selected into two elite clusters and a graduate school. In 2009, it advocated the launch of the "Concept Dresden Alliance". In 2011 In 2012, it was selected into the second batch of elite programs in Germany for its future education development concept.

In 2012, it was selected as one of the 11 elite universities in Germany.

Founded in 1828.
