Success through Key Skills
At TU Darmstadt, there are numerous opportunities to further develop personal, social, and methodological skills. The diverse range of activities available to tutors at TU Darmstadt provides a broad spectrum for this purpose. To support preparation and deepen knowledge, the HDA offers students at TU Darmstadt various qualifications, workshops, and materials, which serve as a supplement to the offerings provided within their own department.
Tutorial Teaching Qualification
The tutor qualification is aimed at all students that would like to prepare themselves for the role of a tutor. This will prepare you for the role, as well as the structuring and moderation of tutoring sessions. Furthermore, these offers are provided in order to guide and to deepen the learners' understanding. These are applicable for tutors .
As support for interdisciplinary study projects we offer the qualification of team tutors . This qualification introduces knowledge and skills to moderate teams as well as being able to present them with methods of operations for their project work. These are requirements which can be accessed for later assignments in interdisciplinary projects.
