The Student Council of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering will be putting a lot of work into making your start into everyday university life at the TU Braunschweig easier. This orientation unit (OU) offers the opportunity to get to know the campus and city, make initial contacts and exchange ideas with students in higher semesters.

This will take place for all first-year students (for Bachelor's and Master's degrees) at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering from 13 till 17 October 2025. This is the week before the regular start of lectures.

S.O.S. ("Studieren ohne Sprachbarrieren") is a peer-teaching program in which German-speaking students support their international fellow students in their learning. The German students are qualified as language coaches and then offer intercultural learning groups in which they work with 2 to 8 foreign-language students on the contents of a jointly attended course. Difficulties in understanding the technical language can be discussed here directly. In the joint work, important methodological skills for the course of study are also imparted and contacts to German and international students are established.
