GCC at the 2024 matriculation ceremony
Opening of the matriculation ceremony in the lecture hall center of the TUD with Rector Prof. Staudinger and members of the University Executive Board.
🌍 Open-minded and engaged – this is not only the motto of this year’s matriculation ceremony at TU Dresden, but also the core of our TUD Global Citizenship Certificate (GCC)! 🎓
The GCC helps students become true global citizens and develop intercultural and global skills.
The GCC program was also presented to the new students at the enrolment ceremony for the winter semester 2024/2025 on October 10, 2024:
" “Our motto of 'cosmopolitan and committed' is not only limited to our matriculation ceremony. These are also the values that we actively put into practice every day here at our university", says Prof. Roswitha Böhm, Vice-Rector University Culture at TUD. This is reflected in unique programs such as the "TUD Global Citizenship Certificate," where TUD demonstrates its wholehearted commitment to educating young people in an international environment to become global citizens. The program is aimed at all TUD students – including doctoral and exchange students. The certificate recognizes intercultural, regional and global knowledge, as well as the skills and commitment of the participants.".
