Young Professionals
In order to support talented and efficient students, the Department of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Technical Journalism has launched the excellence program "Young Professionals". The focus is on - perhaps unique at German universities - the adoption of tutorials by students from the second semester of the bachelor program.
In the study-accompanying program, students attend seminars to increase their personal and social skills in order to develop themselves further. They also learn to teach and to lead.
