Information for applicants
Dear applicants, welcome!
We are delighted that you are interested in studying at the Faculty of Linguistics, Literature, and Cultural Studies (SLK) at the TU Dresden.
General information
If you do not have a degree or want to start studying for a new undergraduate degree, you can study to become a state-qualified teacher (state examinations) or enrol for a subject-specific bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies, with numerous subject combinations both within the faculty and with many subjects at the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Science.
If you already have a suitable bachelor’s degree, you can enrol for the consecutive subject-specific MA course, or the European Languages MA at the Faculty of Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies. See here for presentations giving you an overview of studying at the faculty and the courses available.
Please note the subject-specific admission requirements for both the subject-specific and the teacher training courses. See the FAQs for answers to frequently asked questions about studying with us. If you have any further questions, please contact the appropriate person.
Academic year
Please note the official academic years of the TU Dresden for the coming years when enrolling and planning your studies. You will find the necessary information about lectures, examination and holiday periods and public holidays here.
Financing your studies
The question of how to finance your studies is an important one. Various options are available to you (BAföG, scholarships, bank loans) for funding your university studies at TU Dresden. You can find these listed on the pages of the Central Student Information and Counselling Services and Dresden Student Union.
One advantage in this context is that the Free State of Saxony has no tuition fees. Besides the general cost of living, however, you will need to calculate for the bi-annual semester fees for studying at the TU Dresden. For this you will receive your personal semester ticket, which entitles you to free transport throughout the Upper Elbe transport network (VVO) including the local trains of Deutsche Bahn AG. You can also apply for your student EMeal card, which entitles you to subsidised student meals in Dresden Student Union cafeterias.
