Pre-Course Ticket (“Vorkursticket”)

The pre-course ticket for first-year students

If you are a new student at the TU and attend a pre-course before the start of the semester (October 1. and April 1.), you can purchase a VRR-wide pre-course ticket (“Vorkursticket”). The ticket costs (as of August 2022) 62,15€ for one month.

Validity

The ticket is only valid in the VRR area, i.e. not in the AVV (around Aachen), VRS (around Cologne) and WestfalenTarif (Münsterland, OWL, Sauerland, …). You can find more information about the VRR-Vorkursticket here: https://www.vrr.de/de/tickets-tarife/ticketuebersicht/ticket/vrr/semesterticket/ (Only in German)

If you don’t live in the VRR, you can find out from your public transport authority whether it is possible for you to purchase an AzubiTicket or similar as a pre-course visitor. This varies from transport association to transport association. If you need proof of this, you can have it stamped in our office.
