I have become the face of the TU in the ZEIT Studienführer
Just imagine you have been enrolled at your dream university, studying your favourite subjects and enjoying a turbulent student life, then you have become one of the university's ambassadors and are now the one to show the realistic picture of everyday life at TU Darmstadt! And soon you will be offered the opportunity to become the face of the university on the pages of one of the most well-known magazines – the (opens in new tab). ZEIT Studienführer
Sounds incredible, doesn't it?
2021 is the year in which my studies at school came to an end and it was time to choose a university and prepare documents. I was faced with the task of choosing the profession which I want to pursue for the rest of my life and would inspire me. For five years, I have been always confidently announcing that my dream is to become an architect and create spaces for living in which people could feel comfortable.
How I came to TU Darmstadt
To choose a university, I turned to a reliable source of information: the ZEIT Studienführer, a magazine that includes rankings of German universities by degree programme. There is also a separate page for each university that provides detailed information about it and the city in which it is located. This gives students the opportunity to choose an educational institution according to their own preferences.
While leafing through the magazine, I came across just such a line in which the TU Darmstadt was mentioned. It was at the top of the list of the best universities specialising in architecture. I had never heard of the city of Darmstadt before!
My final conviction
From then on, I started searching for detailed information on the internet. Among the abundance of information about what TU Darmstadt is famous for, I was particularly struck by its membership of the association , an alliance of nine leading technical universities in Germany. TU9
I was convinced that I had found what I was looking for: a small student town close to a German metropolis (Frankfurt am Main), a university that offers a high-quality degree programme and demands a high level of performance!
The ZEIT Studienführer & me
The rest is my story (you can read about it here in my first-year blog): I completed the Studienkolleg to gain my university entrance qualification in Germany and applied for the architecture programme at TU Darmstadt. I started my studies in the winter semester and became an ambassador for #studentsofTUdarmstadt – through which I ended up on the TU advert in the 2024 edition of the ZEIT Studienführer! This is an important commitment, as my involvement in active participation at the university has been taken to a new level. It is an honour for me to present an educational institution, which is worth bringing to the attention of as many applicants as possible!

Hi! I'm Tori, I study architecture at TU Darmstadt. Before starting at TU, I went to Studienkolleg to prepare for university in Germany. When I got my admission from TU, I was really happy. I will regularly blog about my start at TU as a #studentofTUdarmstadt. What inspires me every day are the many different people in the diverse and scientific Darmstadt.
