Opening of the Welcome and Registration point for international students – For a smooth start into a new chapter

At the start of the winter semester, international applicants and newly enrolled international students can find out more about the enrollment process and starting their studies at the BTU at the Welcome & Registration Point.

Starting September 8, 2025, the Welcome Tutors of the International Relations Office will be on site to personally welcome the new students and offer targeted support for a smooth transition into academic and everyday life at BTU.

In addition, Cookie Sessions are offered at the Welcome & Registration Point on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. (in the period 16.09.-28.10.), where new international students can find out about the services offered by the BTU (including language centre, StuRa) and topics relating to life in Germany (including residence permits, the health system) before lectures begin. Students will also have the opportunity to connect with the BTU Buddies - a group of student volunteers who welcome new students and help them settle in at BTU.
