The comprehensive Industrial Engineering programme at the Technical University of Berlin leads to a high-level education which is unique in its breadth and depth. A key focus of the training concept is to largely build on the study programmes of each student and, at the same time, to meet the same requirements.

Students of industrial engineering are the most active group at the TU Berlin as concerns stays abroad (studying and work placements). Nearly 400 university partnerships, programmes for international work placements and several double Master's programmes, as well as the Alliance4Tech European Campus offer a forward-looking, international education for an increasingly globalised working environment. But the campus in Berlin is also becoming increasingly international, with more than 20 per cent of international students, courses in English as well as on foreign language and specialist language skills.

Various PC clusters (including CAD, SAP, Logistics laboratory) and use of extensive technical equipment (labs, trial fields) provided by the participating subjects in the Engineering specialisations, as well as databases such as PERNORM.

The TU Berlin offers a variety of inter-disciplinary research projects with both engineering and economic backgrounds.

The Centre for Entrepreneurship at the TU Berlin operates one of the leading incubators among German universities. It provides support to those interested in start-ups at each stage of the process. Practical courses, presentations and workshops as well as individual advice help to expand the university's entrepreneurial culture and thus support around 20 high-tech start-ups annually. The TUB was awarded the title "EXIST – The Founders' University" by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

The Industrial Engineering course is an inter-disciplinary programme that is not run by an individual faculty or department. It was developed and is overseen by a Joint Commission. It is comprised of modules of all seven TUB faculties, making it one of the most distinguished programmes offered by TUB.
