New Student Day at Technische Universität Berlin

New Student Day is a winter semester tradition. Due to the current situation, this event took place online on 19 October 2020 .

Academic Advising and other services at TU Berlin welcomed new students with an attractive and varied program and offer an overview of what studying at TU Berlin is like. New students also used a live chat on YouTube to ask Academic Advising both general and more detailed questions and to interact with each other.

Students were introduced to campus life via (live) broadcasts from the canteen (Mensa), a subject library, a lecture hall and the Campus Center. Posts on Instagram accompanied the event throughout the day. A cooking video, a virtual tour and talks about campus life and online collaboration with tips on networking are available at TU Berlin's YouTube channel.

Don’t miss: Individual degree programs will offer their own additional orientation events around 19 October 2020 as well. New Student Day gives students guidance on how the University and its degree programs work. The introductory programs of the individual degree programs, however, focus on all the important information you need to schedule courses, organize your studies, use the online portal and make contacts. Other TU Berlin institutions also offer introductory events, including the University Library Orientation Days from October 19 to November 7.
