Coronavirus Update

As soon as it is legally permitted by the Berlin Senate, we will resume regular “on campus” operations. Until further notice, teaching will take place online.

Exams: All exam dates are determined by each professor regarding their rescheduling. Please contact them for any inquiries. This applies to all undergraduates and MBA students.

Graduation: Graduating this year is possible without a question. Should you have any questions regarding your status please contact studentservices@touroberlin.de . In terms of having a graduation ceremony, we hope to still do so, Coronavirus willing. If we are unable to gather in public due to government regulations, then we will try to find another way of substituting it.
