What are preliminary courses?

For some degree programs and subjects, we recommend participation in preliminary courses. Pre-courses are aimed at first-year students who would like to refresh their knowledge in Mathematics, Chemistry* and/or Spanish. The preliminary courses start before the actual introductory dates.

Preliminary course in mathematics

The preliminary mathematics course usually takes place over several weeks before the start of lectures in the winter semester and mainly repeats the most important school mathematics topics for university. This course, which is recommended for everyone, refreshes your mathematics knowledge from school, prepares you for the mathematics entrance test and reveals possible gaps that are then closed in the advanced mathematics course.

In order to receive credit for the MINT accompanying program (4 SWS), a course achievement in the form of written reflection tasks must be completed.

Chemistry preliminary course

The Introductory Chemistry Course (exclusively for plusMINT students) is an intensive course covering key fundamentals of chemistry and is particularly recommended for students interested in the specializations of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, nanostructure science, physics, and environmental engineering, as these fields include chemistry components.

The course consists of a self-paced online course on the Moodle platform and can be taken alongside the introductory mathematics course, likely starting in October. Participation requires completed enrollment in the plusMINT program and activation of your UniAccount.

To receive credit in the MINT Support Program (as 4 SWS), students must demonstrate academic achievement by successfully completing the assigned exercises.

Further information will be provided during the introductory sessions.
