Expedition Campus - Discover the University
Table of contents
Expedition Campus
Expedition Campus is one of the central projects of TU Dresden's School Contact Office and is aimed at school classes. The aim is to get to know the TUD and what it is like to study at a German university. The school classes are supported and accompanied in the planning and implementation by a team of trained students. The content of the campus visit is designed according to the students' interests.
Target group
The Expedition Campus is primarily aimed at classes and courses from grade 9 to 13 and is open to classes from all federal states and from abroad.
Objective
Expedition Campus is suitable as a project day for school classes, where pupils can get a taste of university life, exchange ideas with students and get to know the degree programs and research facilities at TU Dresden. As far as possible, the program is designed according to the interests of the participants. In this way, the Expedition Campus can contribute to career orientation.
