Too late for Ophase?

Although the primary information source for information and contacts is the orientation phase, there are situations where attending is impossible. For those cases, this page lists many ressources to successfully study at TU Darmstadt.


Recordings and slides of Ophase

Computer Science Peer Assistance & Student Support

The computer science department has established a mentoring framework for international master students (MasterPlus) since the summer of 2025. Here, you can ask and discuss topics especially relevant to international students in Darmstadt or the department, such as visas, housing, studying in Darmstadt, and so on. Participation is voluntary in contrast to the mentoring system for bachelors (eiiss).

Currently, initial contact to experienced mentors is arranged by Eva Kettel. Do not hesitate to send an inquiry: Eva Kettel
