Well informed about the HIT: Around 875 prospective students immersed themselves in university life at the HTWD

The HTW Dresden - University of Applied Sciences (HTWD) held its University Information Day (HIT) on 15 January under the motto "Focus on the future". Around 875 prospective students took the opportunity to find out all about the degree programmes on offer and to get to know the campus in Dresden and at the Pillnitz site.

All of the university's degree programmes presented themselves with lectures, open labs and workshops. The greenhouses at the Pillnitz campus also opened their doors. Visitors were able to ask questions and gain an insight into everyday life at the university in personal discussions with students and professors.

The HIT once again focussed on the principle of "joining in instead of watching". Numerous interactive offers, including experiments with virtual reality, the multi-sensory interaction room and a Rube Goldberg machine, invited visitors to try things out and experience teamwork. The programme was complemented by portfolio advice from the Faculty of Design, offers from the Student Advisory Service and information from Studentenwerk Dresden on financing and housing.

Students acted as study guides on campus, sharing their experiences and pointing out important contact points. A campus rally also enabled guests to explore the university campus in a fun way and win prizes.

The Pillnitz campus offered its own programme for the Agriculture, Horticulture, Environmental Monitoring and Landscape Development courses.
