The Ilmenau University of Technology has been given three top spots in the latest WirtschaftsWoche rankings. Once a year, the business magazine evaluates the best universities in Germany. Once again, the Ilmenau University of Technology in Thuringia is among the top 10. This year, for the degree courses in business informatics and industrial engineering, and once again for the IT degree course. For Jürgen Petzdolt, Prorector for Education, the excellent rankings awarded to the TU Ilmenau’s degree courses is no coincidence. He considers it to be an affirmation of the highly practical orientation of the tuition: “Here, the students are in contact with professional life from very early on, for instance by completing internships with businesses. It’s not uncommon for these businesses to later employ our graduates.” (maa)
