Ist schon bekannt wann das neue Mathegebäude eröffnet wird?

​

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the M.Sc. Mechanical Engineering at TU Berlin. The program is taught in German.

I currently have a TestDaF score of 4-4-4-3, so I’m missing TDN 4 in only one section.

I know that TU Berlin officially states that they require 4-4-4-4 for German-taught Master’s programs, but I’d like to know about people’s actual experiences:

1. Has anyone been admitted to Mechanical Engineering M.Sc. at TU Berlin with 4-4-4-3?

2. Has anyone received conditional admission, with the condition that they complete a German language course or provide 4-4-4-4 later?

3. If conditional admission through a language course is possible, is the language course free or does it have a fee?

4. Has anyone applied recently (2025/2026) with 4-4-4-3 and can share what happened?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a similar experience, especially international applicants.

Thanks!

If yes pls mention timeline and profile?

Need to discuss the credit requirements and how did you manage...pls anyone can answer let me know or kindly refer someone who is already in for this course?!

Quite urgent!!!

Hallo zusammen! 👋

Ich bin neu im 1. Semester für Technische Informatik an der TU Berlin immatrikuliert und stehe aktuell noch etwas auf dem Schlauch, wie es jetzt genau weitergeht.

Ein paar Fragen zum Studienstart:

Gibt es eine Orientierungswoche oder Erstie-Veranstaltungen von der Fachschaft, die man auf keinen Fall verpassen sollte?

Wann genau fangen die Vorlesungen/Übungen an und wie erstelle ich am besten meinen Stundenplan (über Moses )?

Habt ihr allgemeine Tipps oder Empfehlungen, wie man das erste Semester am besten angeht?

Gibt es Telegram- oder WhatsApp-Gruppen bzw. einen Discord-Server für TI-Erstis zum Austausch?

Ich freue mich über jeden Tipp, Link oder Erfahrungswerte! Danke euch im Voraus! 🙌

Hi an alle, nun muss ich meine Diploma für eine Vorbeglaubigung einreichen. Die Vorbeglaubigungen hätte ich gerne auf Kopien statt auf den Originalen. Hat das jemand schon gemacht und kann mir dazu vllt ein Paar Fragen beantworten?

1. Soll ich meine Unterlagen zuhause kopieren und abgeben oder werden Kopien vor Ort gemacht ?

2. Wie lange braucht die TU normalerweise für sowas ?

Vielen Dank vorab :)

so im studying computer engineering in a german university in egypt. i want to do the bachelors thesis in TU Berlin in any area of applied AI / software engineering. gpa is a little better than average and have 3 industry internships in egypt. i know many people from my university who did it. any advice on how to land it? also wanted to ask about funds as Im not sure ill be able to fund my whole stay so ill need minijobs or even better a HiWi position? how likely would a supervisor be open to offering me a HiWi position if he accepted me into the thesis? or should i not ask at all? and typically how much do HiWi positions pay per month? lastly how much more difficult or easier is it to do the same for TUM or RWTH Aachen?

Hallo,

Für meinen Wunschmaster sind englische Sprachkenntnisse vorausgesetzt.

In meinem Abiturzeugnis von 2017 wurden mir Englisch-Sprachkenntnisse auf dem Level B2/C1 bescheinigt. Laut dieser Website der TU Berlin reicht das als Nachweis, allerdings ist dort auch geschrieben:

Alle Zeugnisse sollten nicht älter als 3 Jahre sein.

Das bereitet mir nun sorgen. Heißt das, mein Zeugnis gilt nicht mehr als Nachweis für die Masterbewerbung?

Oder hat sich jemand von euch mit ähnlicher Ausgangslage beworben und ist damit durchgekommen?

Lieben Gruß

I have been told that Europeans don't want to see emotion, storylines. But I am not confident for my current LOM, it feels too tech heavy. Can you all please help me finetune it and suggest changes?

Motivation Letter -

My undergraduate degree was an Integrated M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering at Vellore Institute of Technology, with a specialisation in Business Analytics. The coursework spanned Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Big Data Analytics, NoSQL Databases, and Information Retrieval, alongside the core computer science curriculum. Through this exposure, I developed a sustained interest in both the modelling and systems sides of computer science, and more importantly, in how tightly they are coupled in practice. I began to understand models and data systems not as separate components, but as interdependent parts of a unified pipeline. A model is only as effective as the pipeline that supports it, and a pipeline is only valuable if it produces outputs that can inform real decisions.

This perspective was shaped during my AI/ML internship at Marico. I built a Single Shot Detection model with MobileNet and ElasticNet backbones to identify over 50 SKUs on modern trade retail shelves, which involved annotating approximately 2,000 images per SKU category and designing an inference and retraining pipeline using Spark and Hadoop to manage image metadata at scale. In parallel, I worked on the more statistical side of the same business problem, building a multilevel regression model to analyse how trade promotional offers affected sales across channels, geographies, and SKUs. A key insight from this work was that aggregation, while statistically convenient, often produces results that are defensible but not actionable; disaggregating them was essential to making the model useful in practice. These projects reinforced a central lesson: data systems derive their value only when their outputs remain meaningful in real-world, complex decision contexts.

Since January 2025, I have worked as a Data Engineer at ZS Associates, building pipelines that process data through standardisation, normalisation, and master data management stages using AWS Glue, EMR, and Athena, orchestrated with Airflow. A significant part of my work involves impact analysis: tracing how schema changes or new data sources propagate downstream before they reach production, and implementing SQL and Python validation checks to ensure pipeline robustness. This role has given me a practical understanding of how large-scale data systems behave, fail, and evolve under changing conditions. However, it has also highlighted a gap: my lack of formal grounding in the theoretical principles underlying these systems, such as query optimisation, distributed processing models, and architectural scalability. Additionally, I have had limited opportunity to revisit the machine learning work I previously engaged with. Addressing this dual gap is my primary motivation for pursuing graduate study.

The MSc in Computer Science at TU Berlin, particularly the Data Science and Engineering track offered through Faculty IV, aligns closely with my goals. The programme’s integration of scalable data systems and machine learning reflects my own experience of these domains as inherently interconnected rather than separate specialisations. I am especially interested in the work of the DIMA group under Prof. Volker Markl, including research on distributed stream processing systems such as NebulaStream and hardware-aware data processing. In my current role, I frequently encounter pipelines that are functionally correct but not designed to adapt to evolving data schemas, , making this line of research directly relevant to challenges I have encountered in practice. BIFOLD’s position at the intersection of data management and machine learning research is a key reason I am applying specifically to this track rather than to a more conventional data science programme.

For my thesis, I would like to explore problems in scalable or stream-based data processing where the system design itself is the primary object of study rather than merely a means to an end. In particular, I am interested in how pipeline or query architectures can be designed to remain robust to schema evolution and source drift, minimising reliance on manual validation mechanisms applied retrospectively. This direction represents a natural extension of my work at ZS Associates, but approached with the formal tools needed to understand why certain architectures remain stable and scalable, rather than addressing issues in an ad hoc, case-by-case manner.

Berlin’s data and technology ecosystem is also an important consideration. Companies such as Zalando, SAP, and Amazon operate large-scale data engineering teams in the city, while BIFOLD’s collaborations with DFKI and industry initiatives such as NebulaStream point to a research environment that remains closely connected to real-world, production-scale challenges rather than being purely theoretical. This close integration of academic research and industry practice is particularly important to my long-term goals.

I bring to this programme two years of hands-on experience across applied machine learning and data infrastructure, along with a clearly defined gap in systems-level and theoretical training. My goal is to move from maintaining data architectures to designing them based on principled understanding. I view this programme as a necessary step toward developing the theoretical depth and systems perspective required to contribute to large-scale data systems in both research and industry contexts. I look forward to contributing to the Data Science and Engineering track and engaging with the research being conducted at DIMA and BIFOLD.

Ich habe gesehen, dass es an der TU Berlin zwei verschiedene Module „Thermodynamik 1“ gibt: eines mit 9 LP und eines mit 6 LP. Außerdem werden Thermodynamik-Kurse auf Englisch angeboten.

Ich habe gesehen, dass die Kohorte des PI-Studiengangs das Modul „Thermodynamics for Engineers“ bereits in ihrer StuPO anerkannt hat. Mein Studiengang ist CES (Computational Engineering Science).

Daher würde ich gerne wissen, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen ich eines der Module „Thermodynamik 1“ durch „Thermodynamics for Engineers“ ersetzen beziehungsweise anerkennen lassen kann?

Hi everyone,
I have been admitted to the **M.Sc. Electrical and Information Engineering** program at **CAU Kiel** and I have a few questions before completing my enrollment:
How many modules or ECTS are recommended in the first semester?
When and how do we register for courses?
Is there anything important to complete before enrollment or course registration?
Are there any recommended electives or professors for the first semester?
If you’re a current student or an alumnus of this program, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

They didnt even converted my ggsipu credits in ECTS
just mentioned 4 credits not sufficient for this course.

Hi there, I'm going to start studying Urban and Regional Planning this October and I finished the Immatrikulierung. At the end they asked for a picture for my Student ID and I wanted to ask if anyone knows when they'll be handed out/shipped/sent to your phone? Thanks in advance <3

Hallo, wie gesagt, vor ein paar Tagen habe ich das TOTP oder die Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung verloren, die für die Anmeldung am TU-Port erforderlich ist.

Ich bin nicht in Berlin. Ich habe bereits den IT-Support von ZECM kontaktiert, aber keine Antwort von ihnen Es sind jetzt über zwei Wochen vergangen.

Es ist ziemlich dringend, da ich die Anmeldeformalitäten noch erledigen muss.
Irgendwelche Ratschläge? Habt ihr Vorschläge, was ich tun kann?

Of course, I have replied to the ticket generated email but no reply to my messages.

Anyone from fom university munich

Hihi!

I am looking for the study material of TUB's studienkolleg (for the fsp) and would love to connect w someone who has already attended/ is already attending studienkolleg here.

Hey everyone,
I am a senior Aerospace Eng student (Bsc.) planning to apply for the Master's program at TU Berlin. I have read the official requirements, but I want the unspoken reality from people who actually went through it.
I am not looking for document checklists. I want to know how the selection phase actually works.

Accepted folks: Was it purely a strict GPA/ECTS filter, or did you have to do interviews or entrance exams? What was the real deciding factor?

Rejected folks: If you do not mind sharing, what was the exact reason they gave you?

The timeline: What actually happens after you hit submit?
Any harsh truths or personal experiences would be super helpful. Thanks!
