From 23 June 2026, prospective students at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) will have the opportunity to find out how a degree course in their chosen subject is structured. Under the motto “Try it first, then study”, the taster course offers excellent insights into the content and procedures, special features and everything that is part of student life. Registration is open until 21 June 2026.
Pupils in Years 10 to 13 and all prospective students are invited. Some subjects are already fully booked, but the range and opportunities are wide-ranging. The three- to four-day trial study days will take place from 23 to 25/26 June 2026 at the BTU’s campuses in Cottbus and Senftenberg.
Prospective students can obtain in-depth information on site and see for themselves the excellent study conditions. The focus is on both established and newer degree programmes, such as Applied Natural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Energy Technology and Energy Management, and Artificial Intelligence.
Topics such as applications and enrolment feature prominently in the programme, as do course structures and future career fields and opportunities. In addition to a number of ‘real’ lectures, the taster course includes special talks for school pupils, laboratory tours, excursions, and discussions with students and lecturers – in short, a ‘comprehensive study programme’ designed to help participants decide on the most suitable degree subject. Culture and sightseeing are also well catered for during the evening city tour.
Participation in the taster course is free of charge. Those interested still have the opportunity to register online until 21 June 2026.
