It is possible to find part-time employment on campus, e.g. as a student assistant or in the canteen.
Different kinds of accommodations are available on campus and in the city of Freiberg, from single flats to shared flats. Prices vary from 250 EUR to 380 EUR, including utilities. In the dormitory, each student has her/his own room, but usually the bathroom and the kitchen have to be shared with other flatmates. Living in a dormitory is usually the first choice for new international students. There is a good chance that you will get a place in a dormitory if you apply early. The International Office supports international students in finding accommodation.
The Technische Universität Bergakademie – TUBAF – has a unique profile as a "resource university" with expertise in sustainable raw materials and energy management, along with material and substance recycling. Together with national and international partners, TUBAF develops modern technologies and processes for the responsible use of finite resources. In order to address the economic and ecological challenges of the 21st century, the six faculties conduct interdisciplinary research regarding alternatives for raw material extraction, energy technologies, materials and recycling processes.
The Bergakademie Freiberg was founded in 1765. It is therefore one of the world's oldest technical higher education institutions.
Freiberg is located in the centre of the state of Saxony in the picturesque Erzgebirge Mountains, 40 km south-west of Dresden and 240 km south of Berlin.
Freiberg is more than 850 years old, and it was founded after the discovery of silver ore in 1168. Today, Freiberg has around 40,000 inhabitants. The medieval heart of the town, which is almost completely intact, is very attractive. It features the Upper Market Square with its late Gothic patrician houses and the Freiberg Cathedral at the Lower Market Square with its famous Silbermann organ and golden portal. Along with the world's oldest town theatre, a modern multiplex cinema, nightclubs, more than a hundred restaurants, cafés, and pubs invite you to take a break and enjoy life.
There are sports facilities, a modern open-air and indoor swimming pool, and a park which surrounds the town centre like a green belt. Since 2008, the "Terra Mineralia" mineral collection has functioned as a centre of attraction for tourists, students, and inhabitants of Freiberg. The mineral collection, one of the largest collections in the world, is shown in the "Freudenstein", a refurbished castle in the town centre.
The nearby Saxon Switzerland National Park and the Erzgebirge Mountains are beautiful places for a wide variety of outdoor activities, including hiking and climbing in the summer and skiing in the winter. Dresden, Leipzig, and Berlin are easily accessible by train and offer plenty of social, cultural, and recreational alternatives.
