Greetings from the Faculty etit of the TU Darmstadt

Hello,

we are Nithiya & Lucas, and we would like to give you an initial insight into studying at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (FB etit). We are part of the Fachschaft 18 and are both studying at the FB etit. We are available to answer your questions regarding your studies in the initial phase.
The department etit is responsible for the degree programs “Electrical Engineering and Information Technology” (etit), “Mechatronics” (MEC), “Medical Engineering” (MedTec), “Information Systems Engineering” (iST), “Information and Communication Engineering” (iCE), and “Energy Science and Engineering” (ESE), among others.

In the coming weeks, we will send you some more emails regarding your start of studies and the university in general. You are receiving these emails because of your application at the TU Darmstadt, it does not necessarily mean that your application has been accepted.
You can find helpful information about our study programs on the department’s website.
Here you will find, among other things, the contacts to the student counselors. As fellow students, we can answer your questions regarding your studies.
Of course, we can still give you helpful tips for questions concerning finding accommodation, financing, life in Darmstadt, and orientation on campus. This email and future emails will give some information on these topics as well.

By the way: On this website you can find a central collection for all degree programs with various information regarding the start of studies. Just have a look from time to time! Just remember, you don’t have to understand the whole university from the start. It will get easier over time.

If you are not yet familiar with the OSA for the study program Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Medical Engineering, or Mechatronics, please take a moment to do so. Here you will find subject-related tasks based on the content of the first semesters. You can also compare your idea of the degree program with the impressions of other students in higher semesters. By the way: Since the contents of the first semesters for all degree programs in the faculty of etit overlap to a great extent, this also applies to you if you are studying information systems technology. All OSAs are written in German.

If you are looking for accommodation in Darmstadt or the surrounding area, perhaps these links can help you:

Useful information on BAföG and “Wohngeld” can be found on these pages:

By the way: The student councils also have their own websites and an Instagram account, feel free to check them out:

Offers of the University

Hello,

here are Nithiya & Lucas again from the Fachschaft https://fs-18.de. This is the second welcome email from us. If you didn’t receive the previous email due to your application status, just check it out here https://owo.fs-18.de/en/ersti-mails/.
With this email, you will receive some information about the university on-site, It does not necessarily mean that your application has been accepted.

The arguably most important elected representative body for the students of TU Darmstadt is the AStA (“Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss”). Besides socially and politically relevant topics, they also take care of the semester tickets, the cooperation with “Call a Bike” and free tickets for the Staatstheater. In addition, it provides various advisory and lecture services. Further information about the AStA can be found here:

Generally, there are many social activities at the university outside of one’s studies. At the university sports center, you can take part in various sports, join courses, or simply try out different activities (e.g. baseball, soccer, dancing, Quidditch, etc.) at a very low cost.
Furthermore, there are many university groups where, for example, students make music together or organize social activities.

Furthermore, there are the Fachschaften (student councils), which represent the students in the department and in which many committed students are active. Our goal is to ensure that everybody can study adequately at our department. The Fachschaften have their own websites, please have a look:

That’s it from us now. If you have any questions, just reply to this email and one of us will get back to you.
