“TU Dresden sends its applicants either to the Saxon State Preparatory College in Leipzig or to the Preparatory College TUDIAS in Dresden, i.e. with a conditional admission of TU Dresden you can participate in both colleges' entrance tests.”

No Studienkolleg of its own: students at the TUDIAS preparatory college in Dresden are enrolled at TU Dresden, students at the Saxon State Preparatory College in Leipzig at the University of Leipzig. Both charge tuition fees (Leipzig from winter semester 2026/27). Applications are made together with the degree-programme application, never directly to the college. Only relevant to bachelor's applicants; TU Dresden has no English-taught bachelor's programme.
