Welcome Week

Welcome to TU Braunschweig!

For all international students who are new to Braunschweig, we organize a Welcome Week at the beginning of the semester. This programme is an excellent opportunity for you to get to know the university and make new friends. It includes a kick off event, campus tours, information events on study-related topics, practical workshops, get-to-know-you events and much more. One highlight is the first-year excursion to exciting destinations in the region.
