Advising

If you have had to flee your country of residence and are looking to start a degree at TU Berlin or else resume your studies here, Academic Advising can help with the many questions you probably have. We offer advising on a whole range of topics including:

  • identifying your strengths and choosing a degree program
  • recognition of degrees and study achievements
  • pathways towards higher education and admission requirements
  • studying as a guest student and study preparation

Working with you, we will develop a plan for starting or resuming your studies at TU Berlin, help you find the right contact person to answer your specific questions about a degree program, and guide you on your way to studying here at the university.

In addition to our offers, advising is also available from Psychological Counseling as well as Guidance for Students with Disabilities and Chronic Diseases.

We offer advising in German and English as well as other languages as needed.

You can reach us without an appointment during our open office hours. We also offer individual appointments via telephone or Zoom. To make an appointment, please send us an email. We look forward to welcoming you!
