Introduction and start of studies

This course starts in the winter semester.
Dates for the start of the course in October 2024 will be published in August 2024.
Until then, you can get an impression of last year's courses.
The most important dates and offers for the start of studies
At the University of Kassel there is not the an introductory event. Rather, there is an extensive offer of different "Veranstalter:innen":
- On the one hand, the departments offer an official program. This type of introductory event is about the subject of study: What is this subject thematically about? Which majors are offered in Kassel? Which professors and subject areas determine the content? So: by all means attend and ask questions!
- For some (not all) courses and subjects we recommend participation in preliminary courses. Pre-courses are aimed at first-year students who would like to refresh their knowledge in certain subjects. The preliminary courses start before the introduction dates.
- Often the student councils also offer introductory courses. The student council is part of the student self-organization and deals with the specific questions of the students of a department. In terms of content, it deals with questions about the course of studies, the organization of the curriculum, the organization of learning and examinations. The student councils thus offer help with the question of how best to study this subject.
- In addition, there are "welcome events": First semester welcome, offers for students with children, offers for international students.

The slides of the event can be downloaded here.
The Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences offers you the opportunity to take a free preliminary course in mathematics before the start of your first semester. A total of seven different pre-courses in mathematics (tailored to the respective course of study) are offered. The courses last between four to six weeks and take place before the actual start of lectures.
The preliminary course Compact 1/2 is recommended for this degree program.
Especially for plusMINT students, an intensive course for important chemical basics will be offered starting in October. It consists of an online course and exercises during the winter semester.

Participation in the mathematics test, which is administered by the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is a compulsory part of the degree program for first-year students in electrical engineering, computer science, vocational education (specialization in electrical engineering) and plusMINT (this applies to all examination regulations). To prepare for this test, we recommend that you attend one of our mathematics pre-courses.
Participation in the mathematics test, which is administered by the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is necessary for first-year plusMINT students if you would like to take mathematics modules from the majors during the orientation phase. To prepare for this test, we recommend that you take the pre-course in mathematics.
