English Master's Programs Academic Year 2020 / 2021 English Master’s Programs Academic Year 2020 / 2021 TU9 Mission Statement TU9 — German Universities of Technology Excellence in Engineering and Science Made in Germany TU9 is the Alliance of leading Universities of Technology in Germany: RWTH Aachen University, Technische Universität Berlin, Technische Uni­ versität Braunschweig, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Technische Univer sität Dresden, Leibniz University Hannover, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Technical University of Munich, and University of Stuttgart. Tradition, excellence, and innovation are the hallmarks of TU9 Univer­ sities. Founded during the Industrial Age, they contributed decisively to technological progress back then and continue to do so today. They enjoy an outstanding reputation around the world as renowned re­ search and teaching institutions that promote the transfer of knowl­ edge and technology between universities and practice. As such, they train exceptional young academics for careers in science, business, and administration and assume social responsibility. TU9 Universities foster top­class international networks and diverse cooperation with industry, making them a key element of the German science and inno­ vation landscape. The excellent research and teaching at TU9 Universities are based on independence, plurality, and freedom of expression. TU9 Universities have always been places of intellectual and cultural diversity where inter nationalization and integration are a matter of course. TU9 Universities embody ▪ tradition & innovation, ▪ excellence & interdisciplinarity, ▪ cooperation & competencies, and the world of tomorrow. Study at a TU9 University: Nine Good Reasons Diversity 1 Choose from over 170 English master’s programs out of more than 1,200 degree programs (BA & MA) in total research 2 Research­focused teaching as a core element of excellent education in an international and inspiring environment interDisciplinary Work & professional Qualifications 3 Study and research across disciplines and beyond (with language and soft skills courses) theory & practice 4 Get early insights into various career paths with student internships in research and industry technology transfer 5 Special focus on transfer projects and start­up initiatives career opportunities 6 Broad education across disciplines and practical experiences as basis for a wide range of professions in science and the private sector worldwide internationality 7 International campus, global research collaborations, student exchanges, and joint degree programs life outsiDe the classroom 8 Study and live: sports, social and cultural events and activities are part of a vibrant lifestyle on campus and beyond priceless 9 Germany is a politically stable, safe, and diverse country with excellent study programs and it is one of the world’s most affordable places to study and live (around € 1,000 per month) 3 General Requirements Most of the master’s programs in Germany are two­year programs and subject to admission restrictions. Applicants for the English master’s programs need proficiency in English. Requirements, application dead­ lines, and application procedures may vary. For further information on the specifics for each study program, please contact the respective TU9 University (see individual TU9 Universities’ links on page 5). To enroll in a master’s program, a first university degree (usually a three- year bachelor’s degree) is required. If you have completed your studies abroad and would like to pursue a master’s degree in Germany, your first university degree must be recognized in Germany. To know how your first university degree is assessed in Germany, the anabin database (» www.anabin.de) provides an overview (in German). Note All master’s programs listed in this brochure offer a “Master of Science” degree unless stated otherwise. 4 Special Information for International Students All TU9 Universities have International Offices with counseling offers and services for international applicants and students. On their websites they offer extensive information on study programs, application procedures and admission, student orientation, language and intercultural services, and student life, as well as welcome events.

  • Press Release TU9 Demands €500 Million for Digital Pact for Higher Education Teaching
    Press Release TU9 demands €500 million for Digital Pact for Higher Education Teaching Berlin, July 16, 2020 The Presidents and Rectors of Germany’s leading Universities of Technology (TU9) call for a national dig- ital pact for higher education teaching. A first proposal put forward by the 16 State Ministers of Science called for €500 million in funding. The TU9 Alliance supports that call. The TU9 Universities want to use the experience gained in the summer semester 2020 shaped by the impact of the Corona pandemic as an opportunity to change teaching and learning. We need to consol- idate the positive experience gained with online teaching and find the right mix of online and on-campus teaching. Each format should develop its strengths. Used in combination, they will give us significantly more scope for interaction, projects and discourse. More than ever, as the place in which we learn, teach, research and organize, the university will become the central place for diverse and vibrant forms of encounter. In order to prevent every university from having to divert its scarce resources from other fields of devel- opment, we are calling for a national “Digital Pact for Higher Education Teaching”, as formulated by the 16 State Ministers of Science. The pact has yet to be put in place. That is a mistake and one that must be corrected. That correction should take in sustained investment in spatial and technical infrastructure. We need in- novative places of encounter to accommodate new teaching and learning formats, attractive further train- ing, codes of conduct for digital interaction with one another and a strong university didactics.

  • Workshop: Possessive Relations: Interpretation, Syntax and Argument
    Workshop: Possessive relations: interpretation, syntax and argument structure University of Stuttgart Call deadline: 16-August-2017 Possession is a semantic relation holding between two referents: the possessor and the pos- sessee. A marker/construction is said to express possession relation if it can minimally express ownership of some object by a person. However, morphosyntactic means used to code ownership such as English have usually express many more related meanings (possession sensu lato) such as part-whole, kinship, location, experiencer/beneficiary, attributive or social relations (inter alia, Belvin 1996). Alongside with this versatility in meaning there is also significant variation in the morphosyntactic means that code possession. E.g., languages vary as to whether they employ the intransitive presentational/existential strategy (BE type) with no dedicated lexical verb or the transitive strategy with a special possession verb (HAVE type) for the predicative possession (cf. Stassen 2013); there is even more variation with internal possession: genitive case/adpositions, possessive agreement indexes, zero, etc. (cf. Aikhenvald & Dixon 2013; Börjars et al. 2013; Jacob 2003). Finally, other constructions have been claimed to involve possession: different kinds of external-possessor constructions (EPC), e.g., the “possessor promotion to dative”, the locative EPC, restrictive-topic or applicative con- structions, etc. (cf. Payne & Barshi 1999; Lee-Schoenefeld 2006; Pylkkänen 2008). The workshop aims at bringing together linguists working on possession from different angles and with different theoretical persuasions. Topics on any aspect of possession such as the following ones are welcome: Interpretation: To what extent can the particular interpretation be derived from the meaning of the parts and how much is determined by pragmatic reasoning and context (e.g., Vikner & Jensen 2002; Seržant 2016)? Syntax: Are subtypes of possession associated with different structures or are they derived from one underlying locative structure (Boneh & Sichel 2010 vs.
