To the preliminary courses

Pre-college math courses for science, math, and engineering majors and fields (STEM subjects).

The Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences offers you the opportunity to take a free pre-course in mathematics before the start of your first semester. There are several pre-courses in mathematics that are tailored to the respective course of study. The courses last between four to six weeks and take place before the actual start of lectures.

Spanish pre-course

In order to be able to study successfully, it is important that you quickly develop your language skills after the start of your studies so that you can use Spanish without any problems

at the

level B1.

We support you in this with special language practice courses, which are called Propädeutikum and are exclusively led by native speakers: Within the first winter semester you will reach level B1 by means of a combination of block courses and regular weekly sessions.

If you do not yet have language level B1, you can attend a preliminary course before the actual start of your studies.

Chemistry pre-course

Students of the plusMINT degree program can find their course on their degree program page.

Students on other degree programs will have the opportunity to take a self-study online course from September.

Travel expenses

Participants in the preliminary courses must pay for their own travel costs in March for the summer semester and September for the winter semester, as the semester ticket is only valid from October and April respectively.
