Mathematics Foundation Course for First-Semester Students

At the beginning of their studies, students often face the challenge of meeting the mathematical requirements. To make it easier for you to get started, we offer preparatory mathematics courses. We highly recommend attending these courses. In addition to the academic support, you will be able to meet your fellow students and first-year tutors, make friends and form study groups. You will also receive important information about your degree programme at our information events.
