Continuing Education Programs offered by TU institutes to practitioners in trade and industry are another form of technology transfer. Last but not least, TU Graduates aid in the transfer of know-how to science, administration, and industry. In order to promote successful education, the TU believes in providing students with sufficient housing and healthy food. Among other services, it also provides psychotherapeutic councelling and advice. The Foreign Students' Office attends to the needs of foreign students and young scientists in regards to personal matters, such as living accommodations, grant extensions, and recognition of foreign studies.
German students receive information and grant instructions for planning studies abroad.
Numerous foundations associated with the university help support the TU students and graduates, as well as help implement measures for improving the university's infrastructure. The partnership with the former East German Magdeburg University dates back to the time before reunification.
