Once you have found "your" degree programme in the study information system of TU Dresden, the next step is to apply online. The exact timeline from the application to the start of the programme can be found on the internet under the respective programme.

The study programme in Transport and Traffic Sciences includes:

1.     the Diploma programme in Transport Engineering
2.     the Bachelor's degree programme in Transport Economics and
3.     the Master's degree programmes:

• Railway System Engineering
• Air Transport and Logistics
• Electrical Transport Systems and
• Transportation Economics - the new international English-language Master's programme which will start in the Winter semester 2021/2022

There are no admission restrictions (numerus clausus) for 5 of the 6 degree programmes in transport sciences - except for the Master's programme "Transportation Economics".

The study programmes offered at TU Dresden are not only very extensive, but quality is also a top priority at the University of Excellence TU Dresden. It has a quality management system for studying and teaching, with which its own study programmes can be accredited. The system accreditation underlines that the TU Dresden strives for excellent teaching in addition to its excellence in research.

The secret of success of studying at TU Dresden lies in interdisciplinary cooperation, international orientation, early involvement of students in current research and a high level of practical relevance.

In addition to optimal study conditions and short study times, the favourable cost of living and the diverse ambience of the Saxon state capital and its surroundings also make the university attractive. Dresden is considered one of the most liveable cities in Germany.

Laboratory Traffic Control & Process Automation

The control centre laboratory is not only used for training purposes. The VAMOS control centre of the Dresden traffic management system is also installed here. This includes an extensive background system consisting of several networked servers that operate 24 hours a day. This is also where Dresden's traffic data centre is located, where all online traffic data from the city area and from the motorways in Saxony converge, are evaluated and transferred into an up-to-date dynamic traffic situation model.

Road-Load-Simulator at Vehicle Testing Centre

The Vehicle Testing Centre at TU Dresden is a unique set of instruments for basic and applied research in vehicle technology. To this end, the chairs of Automotive Engineering and Vehicle Mechatronics are developing new simulation methods as well as new experimental methods. At the Centre, these are implemented on existing test benches and in the form of new test benches. A special research focus is on methods for digitalisation in motor vehicle development and virtual testing.
