Documents and important links
Through the interdisciplinary approach our degree program allows us to choose from a wide range of courses from different faculties.>It's not always easy to keep track and that's why we have developed a planning tool for you, so you can be sure about the number of ECTS you have to take and plan your courses accordingly.
You can create your own timetable via the course catalog with our specific courses for each semester.
Knowing where each course takes place is essential, and it can be a bit difficult to find the right room in the beginning. The TUC is spread over 4 locations in the city and for the moment there is a double naming of all rooms. A good tool to help is the "campusfinder", which will give you a map for the different locations.
