How do I find the right degree program?
An information event hosted by the General Student Advisory Service
There are more than enough sources of information available, but which ones are relevant and which ones are perhaps less so? What guidance is available? Which search strategy is appropriate? In this presentation, the Student Advisory Service at TU Berlin will show you useful ways to conduct a successful search.
We will also be happy to answer any questions that arise during the presentation. The event is in German but questions can also be answered in English.
