Organisation of your studies

The Admission Office is your contact for all questions regarding the organisation of your studies, including e.g. re-registration, leave of absence, termination of your enrolment, changing of university, questions regarding your student ID card or tuition fees. International students can contact the International Office for support in these matters. More information about exams and about the recognition of credits can be found at the Examination Offices of your faculty. You can get certified documentation for certificates/documents issued by TU Dresden at the respective certification offices. Students with disabilities, including chronic or mental illnesses, often encounter special obstacles during their studies and have specific questions. Our contacts for students with disabilities will support you on your way to succesful graduation.
There are many activities and support schemes offered for students with children.

The Central Student Information and Counseling Service (Zentrale Studienberatung) will support you if you have doubts or problems during your studies and strives to find an individual solution for your specific case together with you in a personal consultation. Subject-specific questions, e.g. regarding your curriculum or the choice of your major can be discussed with the academic advisors in the faculties. The Studentenwerk and the Studentenrat also support you with various initiatives and programmes. Further support programmes, for example for key competencies & future skills, academic writing or online prep courses, can be found in our study navigator for Your Academic Success.
Semester abroad
If you are planning to spend a semester (or more) abroad and seek information (exchange programmes, language requirements, scholarships, etc.) and guidance, the International Office will support you and help you with the organisation of your stay abroad. If you'd rather do an internship abroad, the LEONARDO-BÜRO SACHSEN should be your first contact.
