The teaching in Braunschweig follows the Braunschweig model and is characterised by diversity in both the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses. Students have a very good range of options from the very start and experience technology and business in almost equal proportions. The course takes an interdisciplinary approach from the first semester onwards and students are given an understanding of Civil Engineering and Economics at the same time. The study profile can be individually tailored from many areas of specialisation. The teaching staff are available for questions during regular consultation hours.

The department has a double degree programme with the University of Rhode Island and the University of Nebraska, in which students can obtain a German and American Master's degree at the same time. DAAD-funded scholarship places are available for this. Advice and support is provided by specialist advisers. Credits obtained abroad are generally recognised. International student research projects and final theses are also possible.

The department has a large number of laboratories, workshops and experimental facilities at a high scientific level. Examples of these include the LWI's hydraulic engineering hall, the resonance pulser of the Institute for Steelwork, extensive testing equipment of the Institute of Building Materials, Concrete Structures and Fire Protection as well as the asphalt lab of the Institute of Highway Engineering. A parallel cluster is available for modelling. The facilities also include a railway operation simulator. Almost every institute has testing areas with technical equipment.

Many of the department's institutes are active in the university's key areas of research – "City of the future" and "Mobility". The ZeBra (Centre for Fire Safety Research) and the Zeluba (Centre for Light and Environmentally Friendly Structures) offer researchers an excellent infrastructure as well as the test facilities at the institutes. In the Coastal Research Centre, coastal research is carried out in one of the largest wave channels in Europe. The Collaborative Research Centre "Additive Manufacturing in Construction" deals with digital design. The "Digital Construction Site" project is funded by the EU.

Courses of the Chair for Entrepreneurship can be taken as part of the key qualifications (Bachelor). In cooperation with the Technology Transfer Office at TU Braunschweig, the topic of business start-ups is taught in various courses. In the Master’s, the topic of start-ups is implied, depending on the specialisation selected. The Entrepreneurship Hub and the university Technology Transfer Office support all students, alumni and research assistants with services such as coaching, workspaces, financing options and connecting with network partners.

Diversity and equal opportunities are put front and centre at TU Braunschweig. The Diversity Coordination Office offers advice, workshops and networking. The Advisory Council on Diversity, Family and Equality awards faculty scholarships for students and doctoral students. The university has a broad network in the Braunschweig region, consisting of non-university research, in particular in the areas of mobility, the environment, the city of the future, etc. Within the framework of key qualifications, lecture series are offered on the topic of sustainability in the construction industry.
