  • Contact https://tu-dresden.de/kontakt

    The official TU Dresden contact page gives the central telephone number +49 351 463-0 and address blocks in Dresden, including ServiceCenterStudium at Mommsenstr. 6, 01069 Dresden.

    Model elements: source used for institutional identity and location.

  • Study Information System SINS https://tu-dresden.de/sins

    The official Studieninformationssystem SINS publishes TU Dresden study programme descriptions and marks the information as valid until May 2027, subject to changes.

    SINS covers Bachelor, Diplom, Master, Staatsprüfung and teaching-degree routes across the university's fields.

    Model elements: this is the official current catalog context used for the undergraduate model analysis.

  • Geistes-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften, Bachelor https://tu-dresden.de/sins/33352

    The SINS page states that the accredited Bachelor of Arts Geistes-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften has a six-semester full-time standard duration and a twelve-semester part-time route.

    It says students must choose a 1. Hauptfach and a 2. Hauptfach, and that these must not be identical. The page lists the available first and second main subjects and gives combination restrictions.

    The structure is 1. Hauptfach 80 ECTS, 2. Hauptfach 70 ECTS, AQua Allgemeine Qualifikation 20 ECTS and Bachelor-Arbeit 10 ECTS.

    Strict review: this is a formal two-main-subject bachelor route, but it is not counted as programChoice 4 because the source does not show that the second Hauptfach is chosen after enrolment. It is kept as evidence of programme structure and courseChoice context.

  • GKS study content and AQua https://tu-dresden.de/sins/33352#study_con

    The same SINS page says the AQua area includes internships, a broad selection of language courses, further qualification offers and courses from other subjects.

    It also says the fifth semester is especially suitable for stays abroad and refers students to contacts with partner universities.

    Model elements: supports courseChoice 3 because broad internal choice across languages, qualification offers and courses from other subjects is documented inside the degree. The study-abroad wording is not counted as courseChoice 4 under the strict cross-registration rule.

  • Katholische Theologie Interdisziplinär, Hauptfach GKS https://tu-dresden.de/studium/vor-dem-studium/studienangebot/sins/sins_studiengang?autoid=33377&set_language=de

    This SINS subject page confirms that Katholische Theologie Interdisziplinär can be studied as the 2. Hauptfach in the Bachelor Geistes-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften.

    It also states a concrete combination rule: this second main subject can only be combined with Katholische Theologie as the first main subject.

    Model elements: checked example that the Hauptfach structure is a real formal degree architecture with enforceable combinations, not a loose elective label.

  • Medicine, State Examination https://tu-dresden.de/studium/vor-dem-studium/studienangebot/sins/sins_studiengang?autoid=309&set_language=de

    The official SINS page for Medizin states Abschluss Staatsprüfung and a standard duration of 12.5 semesters.

    The curriculum text says the medical degree is completed after six years and three months after the third part of the medical examination.

    Model elements: this source sets the upper value of bachelorSpecialistProgramDuration at 6.25 years.

  • Statistischer Jahresbericht 2022, TU Dresden https://tu-dresden.de/tu-dresden/profil/ressourcen/dateien/statjb/StatJB2022.pdf

    TU Dresden's official 2022 annual statistical report, table 4.1.1 Studierende im Wintersemester 2022/2023, reports 14,190 students in the D, MA, ST column and 7,318 in the B column as of 1 November 2022. Total is calculated as these first degree routes, 21,508; Master, Promotionen, Abschluss im Ausland, Fernstudium and Sonstige Weiterbildung are not included. Specialist is set to 0 because German Diplom, Magister and Staatsexamen are not the Russian specialist degree level.
