BCI Organizational matters at the start of the study

General information about starting your studies Show all sections Uni Account All TU Dortmund University students are provided with a Uni Account when they enrol. This not only provides you with your personal UniMail address, but also gives you access to important online functions that TU Dortmund University provides for its students. In order to be able to use the UniAccount, it is necessary to activate this account in advance . This activation takes place via the service portal. With the UniAccount you can use the UniMail access the TU Dortmund University service portal log in to BOSS, LSF and the campus portal, for example. Email address After activating your UniAccount, you can be reached via your personal UniMail address "vorname.nachname@tu-dortmund.de". You can check your emails either with programs such as Outlook or via the webmailer , which you can access from anywhere. Digital student ID card You will find the "Student ID" tile in the personal area of the TU app when you log in with your UniAccount. If you do not have a smartphone or do not want to use the TU app, you can identify yourself as a student with your certificate of enrolment (printed or digital). Both the certificate of enrolment and Student ID are only valid (as before) in conjunction with an official photo ID. Digital central area (infoboard) of the BCI With the TU Dortmund University account data, students of the BCI department can find all the information they need for their studies in the "Digital Central Area", our infoboard. Info films, information on the individual course achievements of the semesters - from internships to design projects, from driving licenses to Master's theses. Moodle: Digital central area Start of Bachelor studies Show all sections Program of the Dortmund Study Start Center We recommend the events of the Dortmunder Zentrum Studienstart (DZS), which you can also use for the BCI driver's license, for example. Why take part? Ease your arrival: The start of your studies is made as easy as possible. Information at a glance: Quick access to important information about studying. Self and time management: Tips and tricks for the transition from school to university. Advice network: Get to know the various advice services and contact persons. Questions welcome: Ask any questions and clarify any uncertainties immediately. Get a taste of the atmosphere: Experience the real first-year atmosphere and get to know people. Motivation and organization: Strengthening self and learning skills. Student satisfaction: A good feeling and security in your studies right from the start. Take part and start your studies successfully! No registration is required. Starting eleven - Mentoring © BCI/TU Dortmund Startelf is a program in which older students (peers) act as mentors for the new freshmen. The mentoring groups will get to know each other and the BCI department during the O phase. Each starting group consists of ten first semester students and one peer. There will be a variety of events for the first semester students throughout the first semester. At regular meetings between the peers and the first semester students, information can be obtained and problems discussed. If you have enrolled later, please contact us by e-mail. We will then add you immediately so that you can stay up to date and network successfully with the other first-year students. Contact: Startelf.bcitu-dortmundde . O-phase The orientation phase gives first-year students - affectionately known among students as "Erstis" - the opportunity to get to know their future university and department before the official start of lectures. Here you will get a general introduction to how everyday university life works, what subjects you will be studying and what help is available if you have any problems. Last but not least, the O also stands for orientation on campus, because the campus is huge. You will receive orientation help and answers to all important questions from the teamers, experienced students from the department. Many questions will be answered, such as Where can I find my lecture and practice rooms? How do I register in the library? What is a student council? Where can I get the best fries on campus? There's no question that can't be answered by our peers or the student council - and of course we don't just give dry instructions. Shared experiences and parties will help you feel "at home" from day one. You will receive information and get to know your future fellow students, which is important to ensure that your start is not a false start. Here you can find the program for this year's O-Phase. The BCI driver's license © BCI/TU Dortmund University Navigate safely through university life with the "BCI driver's license"! The BCI driver's license is proof of the acquisition of basic skills for studying at the Department of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering. You can only be admitted to the first BCI exams (Introduction to BCI, Materials Science), for example, if you have completed your driver's license. But don't worry - you can find all the information you need to obtain your driver's license here . Pre-courses Mathematics The preliminary course is aimed at first-year students:students from all disciplines that use mathematics, especially engineeringand mathematical-scientific disciplines. Accordingly, the preliminary course repeats mathematical school material and does not anticipate the mathematical training required for the Bachelor's degree course. Please note: The preliminary math course requires registration. It is possible and sensible to join the preliminary course even after the start. Register here! Start of the Master's program Show all sections Digital central area You must be enrolled in order to use the digital central area. You will receive the access data for Moodle. In the Moodle course "Digital Central Area" you will find all the information relating to your studies. External Master's students can also find out about their study conditions and content here . Starting eleven program To ensure the good integration of future first semester students and external Master's students (= students who have completed their Bachelor's degree outside the BCI department), the Startelf program has been set up. You will receive an invitation to the O-Phase shortly before the start of the semester at your TU Dortmund University registered e-mail address. During the O-Phase we will connect you with the assigned peer students, who will be your first contact for all questions concerning your studies at the department BCI. for questions in advance you can contact the e-mail address startelf.bci@tu-dortmund.de. Timetables Information on the timetables can be found on the department's website. You can find your individual required courses in the respective timetables of the Bachelor students in the TU Dortmund University course catalog https://www.lsf.uni-dortmund.de or in the notices in the glass boxes of the central area. There may be scheduling conflicts, especially for elective courses. You will then have to choose a different specialization. Please also use the course catalog and the current module handbook , which you can also find on the department's website, to choose your specialization (electives) . In addition to the course catalogs, please also note the general information in the LSF or in the connected Moodle rooms, e.g. on registration or on the kick-off events or modules; not all courses are already scheduled at the beginning of the semester. Please register for your internships very early. You can find the necessary information in the BCI internships and labs section of the central digital area. If you have any questions about the internship, please contact the internship organization by e-mail: mailto:praktikum.fk.bcitu-dortmundde Circulation events If you come from outside TU Dortmund University, your admission will include a catalog of conditional courses of varying scope. Some of the required courses take place in the winter semester, some in the summer semester. You will therefore not be able to complete all of the requirements immediately in your first semester, but will already be attending (elective) compulsory modules for your Master's degree and choosing elective courses in parallel. You will create your individual study plan from the required courses, the compulsory (elective) courses and the electives. In this plan, the compulsory courses have first priority. If you change universities, please be aware that you may lose time in your studies or that you may not be able to take advantage of all the options available to you on paper due to scheduling conflicts. PC workstations With the Uni-Account you can use the PCs of the BCI department in the PC pools. The door code is available from the student council. …
