Vacancies on the study commission and the examination board

Victor Nitzsche

At the end of the summer semester, one student member will end his work on the Study Commission for VWI and TEc and on thee Prüfungsausschuss for VWI Ba. We are therefore looking for two people who would like to take over these positions!

In the Stuko, we mainly deal with the design of study documents and other topics relating to teaching at our faculty. We decide on module changes, revise our degree programmes and are currently also involved in the design of new Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes. Unfortunately all the meetings are held in German, but if you would also like to get involved, we would be delighted if you register here in OPAL.

In the Prüfungsausschuss, the examination board, we deal with cases like the transfer of credit points and other things like this. This board also works completely in German and you can register here in Opal.

If you have any questions, please contact the current Stuko members by email at any time!

Teaching Award 2024: We are looking for your nominations!

Victor Nitzsche

Our faculty’s teaching award is going into a new round! For the third time we would like to award two teachers for their outstanding courses in the last year.

Two teaching prizes will be awarded this year:

  • the first one to a lecturer in undergraduate teaching
    (undergraduate programme in Transport Engineering or Bachelor of Transport Economics)
  • the second one to a lecturer in advanced teaching
    (advanced degree programme in Transport Engineering, Master’s degree programmes)

The teaching award, endowed with €250 each, is expected to be conferred on Faculty Day on 8 November 2024.

The award procedure will take place in two stages this year. In the first stage, you can nominate people and corresponding courses, that you have listened to in the past winter semester or are currently listening to in the summer semester, until 13 July. We will then select the most nominated from these nominations. In the second step, you can vote until 26 July to hold a run-off vote between these nominees.

From the result of this run-off vote, we as the FSR Verkehr will form a ranking for the award based on the ratio between the number of participants in the event and the nominations of the teacher, which we will present to the Faculty Council for a decision.

We look forward to a high response rate so that the teaching award is highly meaningful and the quality of teaching at our faculty can be sustainably improved based on the results.

The survey can only be completed once. If you have any questions about the form, please contact us at fsrverkehr@tu-dresden.de.

Here you can find the survey!

Thank you for taking part!
Your FSR Verkehr and your student representatives in the Faculty Council
