Consultation hours

Our drop-in consultation hours are on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. via Zoom. For access data please click on the link below.

Zoom access data

Exchange students list their course choices in the Learning Agreement and have it signed by the home and host institutions.

The of the department in which you are enrolled are usually responsible for signing the Learning Agreements and for the course selection at TU Darmstadt.

Please send us your completed Learning Agreement before the start of the lecture period () or use the online Learning Agreement.

We recommend that you discuss your choice of courses with us before we sign the Learning Agreement, but at the latest before the start of the lecture period. This can also clarify any questions you may have about our courses. Simply write to us or visit our consultation hour.

Below you will find a list of the English taught courses that we recommend for exchange students.

Please note that proseminars and seminars are not graded. Should you nevertheless require a grade, please contact the lecturer directly in the first lesson unit.

Please contact us if you wish to take courses in other departments.

For the list of German taught courses please visit the German translation of this page.

Questions about studying at our department

Please contact your or you teachers directly.

Questions about TUCaN and examinations

For questions about TUCaN as well as course and exam (de-)registration , please contact the Office for Student Affairs . For questions about exams themselves, please turn to your lecturers.

Questions about your stay

International Office: General Questions

International Student Service: Questions about visa, finances, living etc.

For new international students we offer the participation in the department's Buddy programme . This programme was established to help international students in exchange programmes or in the Master of Science Mathematics to get started at our department and at the TU Darmstadt.

We invite all international students to participate in the buddy programme. We will contact you in good time before the start of your studies to introduce ourselves and what we have to offer.
