Technische Hochschule Brandenburg

What Technische Hochschule Brandenburg does

Technische Hochschule Brandenburg (THB) is a public university of applied sciences (Hochschule) located in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany, founded in 1992 and currently celebrating its 30th anniversary. The institution is state-funded by the German state of Brandenburg and operates under the supervision of the Brandenburg Ministry of Science, Research and Culture. THB delivers higher education programs through three faculties: Informatik und Medien (Computer Science and Media), Technik (Engineering), and Wirtschaft (Business Economics), offering Bachelor's and Master's degrees in full-time, dual, and part-time/online formats.

The university's core products are its accredited degree programs, supported by a digital learning infrastructure comprising the eLectures video platform, a Moodle-based LMS, and the meinCampus online enrollment and campus management portal. Auxiliary services include the KarriereWerk@THB career preparation program (EU/ESF funded), StartSmart@THB onboarding support, and a University Library. Research and technology transfer are channeled through the Zentrum für Gründung und Transfer (entrepreneurship and transfer), the Zentrum für Internationales und Sprachen (international affairs), and regional presence offices in Prignitz, Oberhavel-Havelland, and Wittenberge. A new Ingenieurpädagogik (Engineering Pedagogy) Bachelor program is launching for Winter Semester 2026/2027 in cooperation with Universität Potsdam.

THB's business model is that of a state-funded public institution: revenue is generated primarily through Brandenburg state government allocations and federal education funding, supplemented by recurring semester fees from enrolled students. The go-to-market model is direct-to-student recruitment via open houses, school outreach (THB goes Schule), campus visits, and online enrollment through the meinCampus portal. Customer segments include prospective undergraduate students (primary), graduate students, and regional businesses in Brandenburg seeking research partnerships, dual-study candidates, and graduate recruitment. Recent strategic activity has centered on expanding dual-study partnerships (with IHK Potsdam), launching new academic programs (Ingenieurpädagogik), and deepening municipal engagement within the Brandenburg region.

Direct peers

• Technische Hochschule Wildau: Public Brandenburg-based university of applied sciences with a comparable engineering, business, and computer-science faculty structure; the closest regional direct peer to THB and an obvious substitute for prospective students in Brandenburg.
• Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI): Public German university of applied sciences with strong dual-study and industry-integration model; comparable in applied-sciences positioning, faculty structure, and corporate-partnership emphasis.
• Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin (HWR Berlin): Berlin-based public Hochschule specializing in business, engineering, and law — directly comparable applied-sciences offering and a clear substitute for THB's business and engineering faculties.
• Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin (HTW Berlin): Berlin's largest university of applied sciences offering Bachelor's and Master's in engineering, computer science, business, and design — directly comparable offerings to THB and a key competitor for the same applicant pool.
• Hochschule Potsdam: Public Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences focused on social work, design, architecture, and education — a regional peer competing for the same in-state student demand.
• Technische Hochschule Wismar: Public Hochschule offering applied engineering, business, and design programs; comparable in size, structure (faculty-based), and practice-oriented value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin): Large Berlin-based technical university with full engineering and CS portfolio plus doctoral programs; competes with THB in the Berlin-Brandenburg market for engineering and CS applicants at a higher academic-prestige tier.
• Universität Potsdam: Larger public university in Brandenburg offering a broader academic portfolio including doctoral education; THB's active cooperation partner for the Ingenieurpädagogik program and a wider-spectrum competitor in the same catchment.

Emerging players

• FOM Hochschule: Large private German university of applied sciences with a strong part-time/dual study model and online components; comparable in applied-sciences positioning but differentiated by private funding and a digital-first delivery model.
• IU Internationale Hochschule: Germany's largest private university, online-first and accredited, offering Bachelor's and Master's across business, tech, and engineering — a fast-growing competitor that targets the same flexible-study segment THB addresses with its part-time/online formats.
