Study Support
for international students

At the beginning of their studies at the TU Darmstadt, international students are confronted with a variety of challenges. In addition to the language, organizational and professional requirements, international students must get to know and understand a new academic system.

With the study success programmes PreCIS, PreBachelor, MasterPlus and PALS the TU Darmstadt offers international Bachelor and Master students an early introduction and structured support during their studies. As an additional component for successful studies, the TU Darmstadt offers a wide range of training in key skills. The Future Engineering Career Programme (FEC) complements the offers by preparing international prospective and enrolled students for their academic success and a thriving career start in Germany.
