Die Brücke zum Studium an der BTU ist ein intensives Programm, das viel Engagement erfordert. Man kann jedoch auf die ständige Unterstützung, Motivation und sogar den Humor der Lehrkräfte und Tutoren zählen. Sie sind bestimmt geduldig und herzlich. Es bereitet uns nicht nur auf das akademische Umfeld vor, sondern ermutigt uns auch, in die Stadt zu gehen, zu forschen und mit Menschen außerhalb des Klassenzimmers zu sprechen.
