If you would like to meet new people on a walk, for example, or are looking for a training partner, take a look at our sports partner exchange.

You can post a search there yourself or find someone directly.

Various events and networking spaces can also be helpful for exchanging ideas and making new contacts. There are already a number of offers from different areas that bring you together as students.

You can find the TU's current events here or on Mondays on Instagram in the TU_dortmund account story.

The Studierendenwerk Dortmund also offers a number of events such as pub quizzes, stadium tours and excursions. You can find more information here. 

In addition, special attention will be paid to the challenges faced by first-year students and how these can be counteracted. This is because changes at the start of studies such as social reorganization, uncontrolled access to stimulants, independent self-management, self-organization of everyday life, reduced physical activity and responsible nutrition can lead to health problems.

Important information about starting your studies is summarized here.
