What's important to us

We are looking for tutors who show a sense of responsibility and find a healthy mixture between partying and proper first-year support, because besides the leisure program to promote social integration, it is equally important that you motivate the newcomers to a successful study at the TU Ilmenau.

How to apply

The application process is very simple. You can apply online via our application portal (german form). Your student council will then contact you about the further procedure. We are looking forward to your application!
