entschieden, wirst dich zum kommenden Wintersemester 23/24 online einschreiben (1. Juni - 15. September 2023) und vergisst auch nicht alle notwendigen Unterlagen einzureichen? Glückwunsch, dann gehörst du bald zu den jährlich knapp 500 Studienanfänger:innen und den insgesamt knapp 4000 Studierenden im Maschinenwesen der TU Dresden. Wir möchten dir deinen Start vor und zum Wintersemester 2023/24 erleichtern, weshalb Sophia und Marcus ihren eigenen Studienstart nochmal revue passieren lassen. Sie geben dir einen Einblick in ihre ersten Tage an der Uni und Tipps, was dir zu Beginn des Studiums helfen wird. Sie erzählen auch, welche Angebote es an der TU Dresden gibt, um sich gut auf das Studium vorzubereiten.
Tipps für deinen Studienstart
Eine Reihe von Orientierungs-, Vorbereitungs- Vernetzungs- und Beratungsangeboten, speziell im Studienschwerpunkt Ingenieurwissenschaften haben wir dir im Video und auch nachfolgend zusammengestellt. Unsere Angebote erstrecken sich über den gesamten Sommer 2023 bis hin zur Erstsemestereinführungswoche (ESE) und auch darüber hinaus.
Vorbereitungs- und Brückenkurse
Start: 31.07. - 08.09.2023
To refresh and supplement school knowledge, the Engineering Sciences department offers the Engineering Sciences preparatory course, which lasts several weeks and is subject to a fee. All first-year students are eligible to take part. Participation is recommended to all "freshers" in engineering programs in order to facilitate a successful start to their studies. Special recommendation applies to all those with a longer break between school and the start of their studies (e.g. voluntary service, vocational training), students with other university entrance qualifications as well as beginners without an advanced school-course in mathematics/physics. More information about the preparation course you can find here
Start: 11.09. - 06.10.
Every year at the start of the winter semester, the School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at TU Dresden organizes bridge courses for high school graduates in the subjects chemistry, physics and mathematics. The bridge courses serve the immediate study preparation of future students of engineering, economics and natural sciences. The focus is on repeating and deepening the parts of the curriculum that freshers are expected to know, but which experience has shown to cause the most difficulties in application. Any first-year student whose course of study includes physics, chemistry, or mathematics as a teaching subject may participate. Participation is free of charge, registration is not required. The individual courses are largely coordinated, so that it is also possible to attend more than one course. Further information
Start: Time independent
For an optimal start into your studies, the TU Dresden offers you the most important contents of the subjects mathematics and physics compactly summarized and interactively prepared as online courses. This allows you to prepare yourself at your own pace at any time and from anywhere. Numerous exercises and tests allow you to check whether you have understood everything. Tutors answer questions about the course material both by e-mail and in the forum. The course is aimed at students in the 11th and 12th grades as well asfor freshers

Start: 31.08.-08.09.2023
In the trial study tryING you get an insight into the breadth of engineering science courses at the TU Dresden. High school graduates take part in university life and, in addition to the preliminary math course, attend various workshops and research the ideas and technologies of the future. The preliminary math course gives you the best possible start to your studies, and interesting excursions to companies show you how varied the everyday working life of an engineer can be. In addition, you will meet female students to exchange experiences.

Vernetzungs- und Beratungsangebote
2. till 8.10.2023
For all first-year students, the Student Council of Mechanical Engineering prepares the Freshers week every year before the start of lectures. During this week you will get to know all the important things about studying. There will be many voluntary events and campus tours, which will help you to find your way in the (new) city and at the university and to make first contacts. At the end of the week, the seminar group enrollment takes place. This event is mandatory for every new student.
