Interdisciplinary 5 CP module of the Department of Biology on Future Skills in the Studium Generale for all students of TU Darmstadt. Registration from now until August 30, 2025 in TUCaN.

During your studies, you will not only develop specialist knowledge, but also important interdisciplinary skills. This module helps you to consciously reflect on these and develop them further in a targeted manner – for example with regard to job applications or your professional future. Using various methods of self-reflection, you will learn to assess your professional and interdisciplinary skills. In practical exercises, you will look at yourself, your strengths, future skills such as communication, cooperation, reflection and digital skills, time management and goal setting, and support each other in peer groups. The process is accompanied by the teaching team of lecturers and student co-trainers.

Working group at ISM+D is researching a recyclable tiny house. A contribution from TU Darmstadt

There is currently a shortage of affordable and readily available living space in Germany. The demand for affordable, sustainable housing has been growing for years and cannot be met by established construction methods. Mini houses – so-called tiny houses – made of paper could make an important contribution to remedying this shortage. They can be designed flexibly, but are particularly time and cost efficient and environmentally friendly to produce.
