The Member States of the European Union have set themselves the task of standardising the education landscape across Europe. In the course of this, the degree courses have been restructured: modules and credit points aimed at enabling international comparison have been introduced. We have revised and modernised our courses of study leading to a Diploma degree correspondingly, but have consciously chosen to retain the globally recognised Diploma-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) qualification. In addition to our Diploma degree courses, we offer Master's courses in suitable subject areas for interested parties.

Due to their broad technical knowledge as well as their familiarity with the global research community in the fields of design, production and application of nanoelectronic systems acquired during the internationally oriented degree programme, graduates are able to tackle a wide range of complex tasks in the design, production and application of nanoelectronic systems in professional practice after an appropriate induction period and chosen specialisation. They work in microelectronics and semiconductor technology.

The Master's degree course in Nanoelectronic Systems is conducted entirely in English and is therefore aimed at English-speaking Bachelor's graduates. These may be native-speakers or foreign or German citizens who use English as a language of communication.

The "Werner-Hartmann-Zentrum" (WHZ) electronics technologies centre is one of the faculty's scientific establishments. The centrepiece of the WHZ is the Werner-Hartmann Building – the high-tech lab building belonging to the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, which has been in use since October 2013. Seven professorships from four different faculty institutes currently have outstanding infrastructure conditions for teaching and research using the state-of-the-art equipment, with a total of 2,200 m² of lab space in the clean room classes ISO 8 to ISO 4.

The research projects listed subsequently are merely a selection and only provide a partial insight into the faculty's research activities. They are funded by the European Union, the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and countless industry partners: Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI); Else Kröner-Fresenius Centre for Digital Health ; FET Flagship programme: Human Brain Project; National 5G Energy Hub; Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) project fast – fast actuators sensors & transceivers

TU Dresden sees itself as an inclusive university, where it is natural to be different. Our inclusion approach means including each and every individual – with their unique potential and resources – in the university as a whole. In doing so, we are moving away from an understanding of integration that focuses on enabling access for separate subsets through their adaptation to the university as a whole. The sustainability strategy of TU Dresden addresses six central areas of action of the university in 13 objectives. The work plan up to 2030 includes 80 measures.
