Buddy Program of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences
You're interested in becoming a Buddy for an international student to help them find their way around our department and Dresden? Or you're an international student desperately in need of a Buddy in Dresden? We want you to join our Department's Buddy Program for the winter term 2026/27. Just send us an e-mail (buddy.gsw@tu-dresden.de) and register for the program with the registration form!
Registrations for students from Dresden for the winter term 2026/27 are open until September 15.
Buddy Program of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences is aimed at students who have successfully completed at least their first year of study. Our goal is to foster greater integration of international students in our school and to promote cultural and academic exchange even outside the ERASMUS framework.
Please find more information for students from Dresden who want to become a Buddy on our homepage.
Please find more information for incoming/international students in need of a Buddy on our homepage.
OPAL
For better organisation, we set up an OPAL course for the Buddy Program every semester. Here, you can find all kind of information on the program, our meetings or our semester program. Participants can also register for the individual events via the OPAL course.
Program
The program varies from semester to semester but always includes a mix of social, academic, and cultural events, workshops, and other networking opportunities. These include, for example, museum visits, workshops on academic writing and literature management, reading evenings, and much more.
