Four core fields – geo, material, energy, environment – give the oldest existing mining science university in the world a unique and unmistakable profile as the university of resources. Scientists and students from all research areas actively work together in these four areas. Strong partners from the industry are always by their side. Therefore, the TU Bergakademie Freiberg also ranks amongst the ten strongest research universities in Germany due to third-party funding per professor and occupies the top position in the new federal states.
The TU Bergakademie Freiberg has pursued a developmental zeal since its establishment in 1765. Alexander von Humbolt and Novalis studied in Freiberg.
