About us

Successful science depends on debate and efficient networking. To actively influence and advance both academic teaching and research, it is essential to share knowledge and collaborate. One crucial step towards building a university of the future is the cooperation between several institutions for greater effectiveness and more success.

In the German state of Niedersachsen, we have understood that this is the way of the future. The Technische Universität Braunschweig, Clausthal University of Technology, and Leibniz Universität Hannover have therefore formed an alliance, collaborating under the name Niedersächsische Technische Hochschule (NTH) – Niedersachsen Institutes of Technology. According to the motto "cooperation not competition", the three universities are now coordinating their course planning and development for the natural and engineering sciences, thus combining their existing strengths to enhance efficiency in research and teaching.

This makes NTH one of the largest centres of academic research and education for the so-called MINT subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and engineering) among German universities.
