The tryING trial course gives you an insight into studying engineering at TU Dresden. Female high school graduates take part in university life and, in addition to the preliminary mathematics course, attend various workshops and research the ideas and technologies of the future.
The preliminary math course gives you the best possible start to your studies and interesting excursions to companies in Dresden and the surrounding area
will show you how varied the everyday working life of a female engineer can be. You will also meet female students from engineering degree programs to exchange experiences.

The tryING trial course includes

• Mathematics preliminary course
• workshops
• excursions
• Networking opportunities

The tryING trial study program is just the thing for young women who have a high school diploma and are interested in a career in engineering. "tryING is aimed at female high school graduates who are interested in studying engineering but are still undecided," says Dr. Sylvi Bianchin, coordinator of STEM projects at TU Dresden. "In our experience, many people doubt, usually wrongly, whether they can do it. With the trial course, we want to encourage young women and show them the diversity and attractive career opportunities in engineering." Artificial intelligence, technical design, acoustics and voice communication are just a small selection of the topics that the participants will learn about in the workshops. tryING is organized in such a way that there is still enough time afterwards to enrol on an engineering degree course at TU Dresden for the winter semester 2024/25.

‘Lots of new impressions and experiences that give an insight into the university, but also into companies. If you're unsure whether you can succeed as an engineering student, you can find the answer here: definitely! The maths pre-course gave me confidence and showed me that others don't understand everything either, and that almost all problems can be solved together.’

‘I would recommend the trial programme to anyone who can imagine studying engineering. The maths course is a great way to make up for any deficits before you start studying. My initial doubts as to whether an engineering degree programme is really the right thing for me have been completely dispelled by the trial course.’

The tryING trial programme is a very good opportunity to gain an insight into engineering and future fields of work, but also into student life. I also got to know like-minded people with whom you can learn together, explore the campus and do things together later on in your studies. Take part in tryING, you won't regret it!!!

The tryING trial study programme was the perfect mix of professional preparation and interesting excursions. For many degree programmes, there was the opportunity to gain an insight into the future job. Personal interests were also catered for wherever possible.
