In the summer semester of 2024, the proportion of international students in the department was about 70%. The students came from 49 different countries. There are over 50 international collaborations within the department as part of the Erasmus programme and a further 10 international collaborations outside of the Erasmus programme.

"Study at the Centre" – active involvement of students in research projects in the form of degree work or work as an academic assistant is possible.

The professors of the faculty have a strong network with research centres in Clausthal. This enables students to complete their project work and theses in the research centres, as well as participate in the various research focuses (energy, environmental engineering, materials technology).

For more than 13 years, the Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering (MVC) departmental student body has been running a materials library for DIN A3 drawing boards, which are required, for example, in technical drawing. The university sport enjoys an excellent reputation among students, this is regularly confirmed in surveys. Clausthal University of Technology (TU) sees the diversity of students, teaching staff and employees as an asset in teaching and studying as well as a source of innovative and sustainable solutions. With equal access to opportunities, a warm, welcoming culture and respectful interaction, we create an environment in which everyone is encouraged and valued
