International applications and school groups

Visiting TU Dresden with your school group from abroad often requires a lot of planning. The International Office is happy to help you with the program coordination at TU Dresden and has plenty of tips for your stay in Dresden. You can find more options for school children to discover our university here. For example, the Central Student Information and Counseling Service organizes services for school children. You can also subscribe to our newsletter for schools.

International student groups

The International Office provides assistance to student groups, e.g. from partner universities, in organizing their visit to TU Dresden or for student exchange programs. We are also to happy to help if you would like to apply for funding as part of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) study trip program to visit TU Dresden during your trip to Germany.

Guests from international partner universities and visiting researchers

Partnerships and joint projects flourish from exchange trips. Meeting in person to discuss a project and conversing face-to-face are often indispensable. Negotiations or the signing of cooperation agreements are also good reasons for visiting TU Dresden in person. The School or Faculty you are working with is happy to support you in the organization – as is the International Office. The DRESDEN-concept Welcome Center also offers manifold support services for visiting researchers.

Individual visits and general tips for your stay

Would you like to get to know the campus on your own or perhaps try out the Mensa canteen? Then TUD’s information point is a good first point of contact for you.
If you are traveling to Dresden from further afield, the guest houses offer accommodation close to campus. You can find information about all of the university’s canteens on the Studentenwerk (Student Union) Dresden website.
