What is studium generale?
Studium generale means leaving one's own department and learning to engage with other disciplines, broadening one's view, getting to know new perspectives and looking at and working on topics in an interdisciplinary way.
Events are reported each semester by the faculties of TU Dresden or organised by (student) initiatives for the studium generale and published in a joint lecture directory. In addition, there are offers from civil society organisations and the offers of the Studium Integrale of the HTW Dresden, which can also be attended by students of the TU Dresden. The offers cover a wide range and include more than 120 events per semester. If you would like to organise a course yourself as a student intiative, you can find information in the internal area or contact us.
In order to maintain the quality of these events, formats that are specially designed and implemented for the studium generale are evaluated every semester with the help of the Centre for Quality Analysis. You can find out more about the studium generale evaluation here.
If you are not sure whether you can have studium generale courses recognised as part of your degree programme, you can find out about the requirements for recognition on our pages. The most frequently asked questions are also answered on these pages. You can find templates for certificates here.
