TU Dresden (reviews)

TU Dresden shines with excellent lectures and seminars. Students and Faculty are very helpful and open minded, organising get togethers and other group activities regularly. Campus live is thriving with parties, study groups and dorm arrangements.
Classes are well structured and professors are open about grading papers. Expectations are clearly mentioned and help is provided.
Lehramt (Education) is an intellectual challenging program, preparing students for the future work in schools. Help with internships are always provided.

The teachers are young and thus very enthusiastic. Throughout the Corona pandemic we mainly attended online classes, nevertheless, the teachers helped us the best they could so that we could understand the lessons and finish our work. Learning resources are uploaded on the learning platform on time.
They also try to keep the teaching program as updated as possible, which is essential for studying media. I really like the seminars where we get to plan and do our own projects.
However, for people doing Media Informatics as a combined minor, the learning program is a bit too demanding. Most of the time I am investing more time into my minor than my major. I really hope in the future the program would be less difficult for non-programmers like us.
The main building of the Social Sciences campus is a bit small, however, and is a new building. I would love to study in one of the older, historic buildings of the uni.

The modules of the programme are very loaded. Students go to class at 7 am and return back home at 6 pm, and this happens from Monday to Friday. For lecturers, most of them translate directly their slides from German to English, making it difficult for some of us to get the picture. Also the fact just one module can be taught by four to five professors is another problem. Honestly, some of the workloads should be reduced so that students can have time to study. I would not recommend TU Dresden to anyone because students are really stressed at my faculty. TU Dresden is international, but looking at my course for instance (Tropical forestry) there are no career prospects.

The first semester at uni was pretty nice. After that quality was less good. Practical knowledge and experiences would make everything better. The main focuses are on public transport, but more aviation would be nice.
