The TU Darmstadt is Germany’s first autonomous university and has a state-funded budget of 200 million Euros (2012, incl. building funds). Its capacity for innovation is evidenced inter alia by the high level of annual funding received from outside sources. The 144.8 million Euros (2012, incl. LOEWE) contributed i.a. by industry, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and the European Union for 2012 make it one of Germany’s leading academic recipients of outside funding. In renowned rankings by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, and the Centrum für Hochschulentwicklung, as well as polls of the personnel directors of major corporations, it has consistently corroborated its leadership in research, academic excellence, and its qualification of graduates for top jobs and successful careers.
