New Student Day

Every winter semester starts off with the New Student Day. Due to Covid-19, we will have to break with the tradition of welcoming all new students together at our main building. We are preparing offers to welcome our new students and provide them with the guidance they need to make a good start to their studies. We want our new intake to have the chance to get to know TU Berlin first hand and meet their lecturers and fellow students. Save the two weeks prior to lectures, from october 19th on. We will inform you in good time regarding the exact dates and formats of our orientation events.

Until then, the videos of last winter semester's New Student Day will also give you important information on several topics concerning your studies here at TU Berlin:
