The welcome ceremony for the new students will take place on 25 September 2023 at 3.00 pm at the Rundkino Dresden (Prager Straße 6, 01069 Dresden).

Market of Opportunities
Wednesday 12 - 3 p.m. in the PAB in the central building
At the Market of Opportunities, all central institutions of the HTWD and other relevant actors will present themselves with a booth:
Dresden Studentenwerk, Career Service, Gründungsschmiede, Center for Interdisciplinary Education, Student Counseling, International Office, University Library, Equal Opportunity/Inclusion Officer, Student Health Management, Student Council, faranto e.V., Project Lab X
It is a good idea to combine the visit to the market with lunch in the adjacent cafeteria of the HTWD, the Café Listig.
A visit to the Market of Opportunities is also worthwhile because at 1 p.m. in the foyer of the central building, 450 of the Student Welcome Package of the City Management Dresden will be handed out. The number is only limited - first come, first served. ;-)
