TasterUni at TU Dortmund: Insights into exciting courses!

The Technical University of Dortmund opens its doors to interested students from the 10th grade and invites you to the “TasterUni”. The aim of this multi-day event is to provide a comprehensive insight into the university's study options. The event will take place on May 12, 2025 and promises to offer an exciting program. Around 70 events are planned, involving 17 faculties, DoKoLL, DLR_School_Lab, the International Office and the Central Student Advisory Service. The students have the opportunity to find out about different study programs and to interact directly with students.

The TasterUni includes different formats that not only give participants an overview of the offerings, but also offer in-depth insights into specific topics. Students can immerse themselves in chemical biology, industrial mathematics, journalism, economics, rehabilitation sciences and teaching, among other courses. In addition to classic lectures, practical workshops and live experiments are also part of the program. For example, participants can try out programming microcontrollers or explore the cultural meaning of pop music.

Interactive formats and contacts

A central component of the TasterUni is the exchange with TU students, which will take place on the last day of the event. Here, students can ask open questions and gain valuable insights into everyday student life. Interaction with teachers and professional practitioners enables young people to make important contacts that can be helpful to them when choosing a course of study.

The event takes up a lot of space and extends over several days. Registrations are possible online until August 11, 2025 via the SchnupperUni homepage. Participation is free for all students, which makes the event particularly attractive. It should be noted that the TU Dortmund Trial University represents an excellent opportunity for young people to prepare specifically for their upcoming degree and at the same time find out what educational paths are open to them.

Support in choosing a course of study

The questions that many high school graduates ask themselves are diverse. The TasterUni offers valuable orientation not only to students, but also to their parents. Study choice portals, such as those from diestudien.de, offer extensive information and support you in deciding whether to study. This includes, among other things, Abitur grade calculators, NC searches and comprehensive information about study programs in Germany. This is particularly important because many students are unsure whether their grade point average is sufficient to apply for a place at university.

There are also numerous offers that contribute to study orientation. Among them are contact points such as “HeyStudium” from DIE ZEIT or thessaAI fromstudien.de, which help students find suitable study programs through personal interest profiles. Such resources are valuable, especially at a time when many are faced with the challenges of choosing a college. These offerings help students not only become more confident in their choices, but also promote their personal development and career orientation.

Overall, the SchnupperUni at TU Dortmund supports students in actively shaping their future and making conscious decisions for their academic career.
