Dear Students

Due to the COVID-19 measures in place at TU-Berlin, offices are not permantly staffed during office hours and access for the public is very limited. Please contact administrative or academic staff individually should you be in need of an appointment.

Along with most major universities around the world, TU Berlin will be conducting the upcoming winter semester virtually, in order to ensure safety and health of students and staff during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This decision includes the master programs offered at TU Berlin Campus El Gouna. The experience of the digital summer semester has been an enriching and productive one for students and lecturers alike. It has shown that a virtual study program can be implemented to a good academic standard and online study will continue for students in the second year of their master’s degrees.

Our experiences have also shown that a digital semester presents a major challenge, particularly for first-year students. The applied, practice-oriented and interactive qualities of the study programs at Campus El Gouna as well as its highly international character cannot be adequately represented in an online first semester. In order to maintain the high standards of tuition at Campus El Gouna, TU Berlin in consultation with its Egyptian partners has therefore decided not to enroll new students for the winter semester 2020/21.

We would like to thank all applicants for their interest in the five unique master’s programs offered at TU Berlin Campus El Gouna and hope that this decision is also representative of their academic goals and their personal safety and health. We will keep you updated concerning developments on our Campus and very much hope to welcome you in person at Campus El Gouna in the future.

TU Berlin Campus El Gouna is offering free supporting courses for alll students currently writing their thesis in the departments of Energy Engineering, Urban Development and Water Engineering.

A detailed description of the seminar can be found here.
