Block A: Study orientation
SEEING THROUGH AND GETTING STARTED.
Block A "Study Orientation" is designed to support you in making a conscious study decision.
You have the opportunity to attend basic courses of different study programs. This will give you insights into different courses and course formats and expand your specialized knowledge. For our course offerings, we draw on the catalog of the Pupils' University of TU Dresden.
If you wish, you can also take examinations (usually written exams) at the end of the semester. Successfully completed exams can be credited to your later course of study at TU Dresden upon application. This reduces the burden when entering your subsequent study program.
