The spectrum of subjects ranges from traditional disciplines such as mechanical engineering, automotive engineering and business administration to more recent disciplines such as health electronics, game design and professional IT business.

Ideal conditions are provided for all those who would like to complete part of their studies abroad. The HTW Berlin maintains contacts with over 140 universities worldwide and has built up a dense network of cooperative relationships.

Research with practical relevance
Research is a core task for the HTW Berlin and a key factor for success. Research activities connect the university with the professional sector, scientific networks as well as companies and at the same time guarantee high quality in studies and teaching. Researchers at the HTW Berlin contribute their ideas, expertise and contacts to more than 250 thematically wide-ranging third-party funded projects every year, which are usually carried out in cooperation with industrial partners. Many projects are specifically geared to the innovation needs of individual companies and branches or to local development opportunities. The HTW Berlin's expertise is particularly pronounced in the areas of “Industry of tomorrow”, “Digitalisation” and “Creative industries”.

Interdisciplinary research teams
The agenda also includes topics for which various specialist skills are pooled. Only in interdisciplinary teams is it possible to develop holistic strategies, for example for the climate-friendly transformation of energy supply, better healthcare, challenges posed by an ageing society or the digitalization of culture and society.
