Ilmenau University of Technology

 

Ilmenau University - GRIAT Partner University

 

The training of engineers in Ilmenau is built on a long and excellent tradition. The original institution, the Thuringisches Technikum, was founded in 1894. It became the Hochschule für Elektrotechnik in 1953. Ten years later it was elevated to the Technische Hochschule Ilmenau, reflecting the broader range of degree subjects offered and their academic standard. The Technische Universität Ilmenau (TU Ilmenau) gained the status of University in 1992 and, paradoxically, became one of Germany’s newest universities under its new title.
