Future Day at the BTU in Cottbus or Senftenberg

An exciting and informative programme with a wide range of workshops, experiments, lectures, campus and laboratory tours as well as individual student guidance and counselling awaits young people at BTU on Future Day for Girls and Boys in the State of Brandenburg.
The BTU is opening its doors at all three major BTU locations - the Cottbus main campus, the Cottbus-Sachsendorf campus and the Campus Senftenberg.

The Future Day offers the opportunity to get a taste of the wide range of courses on offer at the Lusatian university and to try out student life.
The following areas are available: STEM- Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Information Technology. Environment and Natural Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems, Human Sciences, Economics, Law and Society as well as Architecture, Civil Engineering and Urban Planning.

The programme starts at 9 a.m. at all three locations with information on all of BTU's study options and how to apply. At the main campus and in Senftenberg, the opening lectures will also highlight the opportunities for stays abroad and internships and the extensive range of university sports programmes will be presented at stands. The respective canteens will be open for catering.

At the Cottbus main campus, the extremely varied programme includes lectures on the co-op programme, the new Bachelor's degree course in Environmental Sciences, the range of courses on offer in the field of construction and the design of algorithms. Other topics include flying in times of climate change - also illustrated by a virtual tour of the chesco research factory - and the recycling of plastic waste. Exciting experiments can be experienced in the high-voltage hall or in the Unex school laboratory, and there are also guided tours of laboratories and the university library. Young people can follow the reconstruction of the power grid after a blackout, familiarise themselves with AI-supported gesture recognition or make their own pocket warmer. In "Mission ISS", VR glasses are used to explore the International Space Station. Workshops on building bridges and setting up a business invite you to join in. Young women and girls meet female role models from technical professions. The Maths Escaperoom offers special challenges.

At the Cottbus-Sachsendorf campus, there will be the opportunity to take part in several workshops - on social work in a football fan environment, social justice and the topics "Learn a new alphabet in 20 minutes!" and "Social Work - You wouldn't have thought so much diversity". The research project "Professionalisation of housing counselling in Brandenburg" will be presented. The programme also includes an introduction to the Instrumental and Vocal Performance and Teaching study programme and lectures on Social Work in practice, teaching and research as well as the future of languages in studies and careers.

At Campus Senftenberg, there will be presentations on the co-op programmes in Business Administration , Engineering and Mathematics as well as the Biotechnology and Applied Mathematics study programmes. Those who would like to find out more about the primary school teaching degree programme will have the opportunity to do so on a tour of its learning workshops and are invited to take advantage of the individual student guidance and counselling services. The "Music and active music-making" project will also be presented. Interested participants of the Future Day are welcome to attend a laboratory tour for those interested in Biotechnology as well as a lecture and laboratory tour on the topic of "Biotechnology, plastics and 3D printing".
