In the survey conducted by the Centre for Higher Education Development, students particularly praised the excellent organisation of studies and the opportunities for studying and internships abroad. They also awarded high marks for the modern facilities in the library, laboratories and technical centres. Bachelor students from the fields of mechanical engineering and materials science were surveyed. The CHE ranking is published today (8 May 2025) at , the portal for study orientation from DIE ZEIT.
Students particularly emphasised the excellent infrastructure of TU Bergakademie Freiberg: the university library, which was opened in 2023, received top marks (4.7 and 4.6 out of 5 stars); the laboratory equipment was also rated highly (4.5 and 4.6 stars).
No waiting list for laboratory internships, no overlaps in the timetable
Students also appreciate the university's excellent study organisation. Places in courses and laboratory practicals are guaranteed and students are well supported by lecturers if they have any questions or problems. In the category "Access to courses", the materials science students even awarded the full score of 5 out of 5 stars!
Study and internship abroad made easy
The TU Bergakademie Freiberg also scored above average in the CHE survey for study abroad programmes. This is not only about support and counselling in preparation for studying abroad, but also about finding internships abroad. Here, the students place ³Ô¹ÏÍø well above the survey average.
In addition to the student survey, the research data of the participating universities was also compared. TU Bergakademie Freiberg performs well and very well in terms of doctorates per professor and third-party funding.
Students take centre stage. Always with an ear to the students, our teaching staff are constantly improving the course content, developing degree programmes and advocating good framework conditions for studying. This enables us to support (and challenge) many of our students individually, not only in their courses, but also in their time abroad, industrial internships, scholarship applications or proposals for prizes and awards.

The degree programme at the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology at TU Bergakademie Freiberg impresses with its strong practical orientation, close industrial contacts in Germany and abroad and excellent career entry opportunities. Students benefit from application-oriented teaching and direct access to companies in the relevant sectors.
