WIN Orientation Program

Study or training? Which subject area do you particularly enjoy? Where do your strengths and skills lie? Can you combine enjoyment, skills and talent?

The WIN orientation program at TU Bergakademie Freiberg offers you the opportunity to answer these and other open questions about your future by trying things out. Over two semesters, you can individually compile, try out and study course content from the fields of economics, law, engineering, natural sciences, computer science and robotics according to your own needs.

On the way to making the right decision, you can already take exams that can be credited to a subsequently chosen degree program upon request. With the WIN orientation program, you are enrolled at TU Bergakademie Freiberg with student status.

Take one or two semesters to try out a degree program without consequences, but with many advantages.
