• Bachelor's Programs https://www.tu.berlin/en/studying/study-programs/all-programs-offered?tx_tubstudypaths_studypathlist%5Bfilter%5D%5B0%5D=degreeType%3ABachelor&cHash=d1fd74cc9a679394506db74984b29065

  The official bachelor catalog shows admission into named bachelor programs, including Architecture, Computer Science, Engineering Science, Culture and Technology subject variants, teacher training routes and other B.Sc., B.A. and B.Eng. programs.

  Model elements: the main undergraduate architecture is built around a preselected program rather than an open first year, double major or university-wide major plus minor structure.

• Architecture, B.Sc. https://www.tu.berlin/en/studying/study-programs/all-programs-offered/study-course/architecture-b-sc

  The program page states Bachelor of Science, a six-semester standard period of study and 180 credit points.

  The program structure divides the curriculum into compulsory, compulsory elective and elective components: 150 CP compulsory, 18 CP compulsory elective from a set list and 12 CP elective.

  Model elements: this is a typical fixed-program structure with constrained internal electives.

• Computer Science, B.Sc. https://www.tu.berlin/en/studying/study-programs/all-programs-offered/study-course/computer-science-b-sc

  The Computer Science page states Bachelor of Science, six semesters and 180 credit points.

  Advanced studies include a wide range of modules for specialization inside modern computer science and compulsory electives on social responsibility, ethics and sustainability.

  Model elements: specialization exists within the selected program, but not as a change of major or a formal minor.

• Culture and Technology, Art History, B.A. https://www.tu.berlin/en/studying/study-programs/all-programs-offered/study-course/culture-and-technology-art-history-b-a

  The Culture and Technology page shows a six-semester, 180 CP B.A. with four areas: core subject Art History including the thesis, interdisciplinary studies, professional orientation and a 30 CP elective area.

  Model elements: this humanities and technology program has a large elective area and interdisciplinary studies, but admission is still to a named subject variant rather than to a general combined-major university model.

• MINTgrün pre-study orientation program https://www.tu.berlin/en/studying/study-programs/pre-study-orientation-program

  MINTgrün is described as a two-semester pre-study orientation program for applicants unsure which MINT degree program is the best fit.

  If participants later begin a degree program, coursework from MINTgrün can be credited.

  Model elements: this supports orientation before degree choice, but it is not itself an open undergraduate degree model.

• Recognition of Earned Credits https://www.tu.berlin/en/studying/applying-and-enrolling/recognition-of-earned-credits

  TU Berlin states that credits obtained at TU Berlin or another university can be recognized on application when they show little or no difference from the module to be studied at TU Berlin.

  For exchange programs such as ERASMUS+ and Overseas, students apply for recognition of credits to the relevant examination board after receiving transcripts.

  Model elements: external study can enter the TU Berlin record, but it depends on examination-board recognition.

• Berlin University Alliance course formats https://www.tu.berlin/en/pruefungen/berlin-university-alliance

  TU Berlin's Examination Office says students of FU Berlin, HU Berlin, TU Berlin and Charité can use selected offers of all partners.

  The page lists joint degree programs, cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional module packages, BUA Modules and StuROPx as formats designed for broader access to existing courses at all four institutions, participation in new courses and research projects.

  Model elements: this is formal local cross-institution course access for enrolled BUA partner students.

• BUA Modules https://www.berlin-university-alliance.de/en/commitments/teaching-learning/bua-buero/students/module/index.html

  The BUA Modules page says students of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité can attend BUA Modules offered by all partners.

  It states that ECTS credits earned in BUA modules are not automatically assigned to the student's degree program and students should check recognition with their examination office or relevant contact point in advance.

  Model elements: this supports courseChoice 4 with a caveat: external choice is formal and credit-bearing, but recognition into a specific TU Berlin degree requires prior approval.

• How to register for BUA Course Formats https://www.tu.berlin/en/pruefungen/berlin-university-alliance/bua-module-und-profile-certificates/how-to-register-for-a-bua-module

  TU Berlin explains the registration route for BUA Modules, modules that are part of BUA Certificate Programs, and StuROPx projects at TU Berlin.

  The page again recommends clarifying in advance whether the student's home university can credit the BUA module to the student's studies.

  Model elements: there is a formal registration and visiting-student procedure for BUA course formats, with credit recognition handled by the home institution.

• TU Berlin student statistics, winter semester 2025/2026 https://www.static.tu.berlin/fileadmin/www/10000000/Ueber_die_TU_Berlin/Profil/TU_in_Zahlen/Dokumente/Studierendenstatistik/Studierendenstatistik_Wintersemester_2025_2026.pdf

  The official Studierendenstatistik for winter semester 2025/2026, status 1 December 2025, counts students by person count, including students on leave and excluding guest students, secondary auditors, multiple enrolments and Studienkolleg students. Table 2b reports B 18,399, BL 421 and S Staatsexamen in food chemistry 43. Total stores the first-degree aggregate B, BL and S, 18,863; bachelor stores B plus BL, 18,820. German Staatsexamen is not stored as the Russian specialist level, so specialist is set to 0.
