News

Welcome our new Managing Director

Big news at TUDIAS: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Antonio Hurtado has been appointed our new Managing Director!

As a young man, Prof. Hurtado left Spain with his parents for a new life in Germany. A new life, and a new language. Having to overcome this hurdle himself, Prof. Hurtado knows all too well the importance of language for integration and professional success. Here at TUDIAS, we support our students every day with exactly that mission in mind, making Prof. Hurtado a natural fit.

Besides his new responsibilities at TUDIAS, Prof. Hurtado will continue serving part-time as President of DIU. While holding these two positions, Prof. Hurtado will be able to quickly identify and act on synergies that already exist under the "Bildungscampus" situated at the WTC Dresden.

Prof. Hurtado has hit the ground running at TUDIAS and brought a fresh perspective to our various projects. Please join us in congratulating Prof. Hurtado and wishing him every success in this new role.

Studienkolleg - Winter Semester Graduation

On February 11, 2026, after two semesters of intensive study in subjects such as computer science, biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics, which are taught entirely in German, the students of the M and T courses received their FSP certificates. The graduating class was particularly international, with students coming from a total of 11 different countries.

These certificates give them access to the German higher education system. Many plan to stay in Dresden and continue their studies at the Technical University of Dresden. However, the certificates of assessment from the TUDIAS preparatory college are recognized at all universities in Germany, so some graduates will take up their studies in Munich, Berlin, or other university cities throughout the country.

We are proud of our students' achievements and wish them all the best for their future!

Studienkolleg - Winter Semester Graduation

New in the program: Ukrainian at TU Dresden

Starting from the winter semester 2025/26, TUDIAS will offer a Ukrainian language course for the first time as part of the language training program at TU Dresden.

The course is aimed at all students at the TU who are interested in the Ukrainian language and culture – regardless of prior knowledge. The goal is to impart basic language skills for everyday life and studies and to provide an initial insight into the peculiarities of Ukrainian.
As with our other 16 languages, registration is possible only via OPAL.

We are excited to be able to offer this new language learning opportunity and warmly welcome all participants!

Studienkolleg Summer Semester '25 Graduation

On July 9, 2025, the students of the M, W, and T courses received their FSP certificates after two intensive semesters. During this time, they worked hard on computer science, biology, physics and mathematics - all in German. Now that they have successfully completed their studies, the path to the German university system is open to them.

Many would like to continue their studies in Dresden at the TU Dresden, but as the TUDIAS certificates are recognized nationwide, some will also move to Leipzig, Hamburg or other university cities. We are proud of the great achievements of our students and wish them all the best for their future!
