Young Professionals

The Department of Engineering and Communication has launched the "Young Professionals" excellence programme to specifically support talented and high-performing students. At its core - perhaps uniquely at German universities - is the assumption of tutorials by students from the second semester of the Bachelor's degree programme. As part of the programme, students attend seminars to improve their personal and social skills in order to develop further. And learn how to teach and lead.

There are still places available for the Young Professionals short seminar "Self-management and time management in the Master's thesis" on Monday, 11 February from 09:00 - 13:30. In the info section on this page you will find a PDF with more information.
