Do you know KOMA-Scrip? It has good support for title pages. Check
section 3.7 in the KOMA-Script manual. If it has everything you need just
that.
If your university provides a latex template, and one department there
certainty will, why not use that? Just port the university's class or
recommend preamble to Org via org-latex-classes,
org-latex-title-command, #+LATEX_HEADER or similar.
Alternatively, it's not hard roll you own title-page.tex. An example is
below.

Example of a titlepage:

\itshape
\mbox{{\Large
\PaperType\xspace $\circ$ \University\xspace $\circ$
\Date}}
\vspace{1.5cm}
\noindent
{\fontsize{20mm}{20mm}\selectfont
\noindent\rule{.9\textwidth}{2pt}\\[.25ex]
\noindent\Title
\noindent\rule{.9\textwidth}{2pt}\vspace*{1ex}}
{\fontsize{15mm}{15mm}\selectfont
\vspace{3cm}
{\Huge supervised by:\\[-1ex]

\vfill
\makebox[\textwidth][r]{\parbox[b]{2cm}{\huge written\\[-1ex]by} \Author}
{\huge \SubAuthor}}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\end{fullsizetitle}
\clearpage
% backside of titlepage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\mbox{}{\itshape\sffamily\noindent\vfill
