University and Graduates’ Ball – ‘TUBAF International’
On sale from 9 September!
Experience an unforgettable evening full of elegance, music and international flair: on 7 November 2026, the TU Bergakademie Freiberg invites you to its traditional University and Graduates’ Ball.
As every year, the Tivoli Freiberg concert and ball venue is transformed into a festive setting for socialising, dancing and special moments. Under this year’s theme ‘TUBAF International’ , the ball is all about global solidarity – an occasion that also celebrates the 25th anniversary of the International University Centre.
Look forward to rousing live music from the Leipzig band Cosmic Light as well as a fantastic atmosphere with DJ Kenduro, who together will ensure an unforgettable ball night. Linda Gernitz will be our host for the evening. Culinary delights will once again include a first-class menu to round off the evening in style.
University staff, partners and friends of the Bergakademie, as well as our graduates and their families, will celebrate together in a festive atmosphere.
