Induction event
The induction event for your Bachelor's program will take place on 16 October 2023 from 10. a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Audimax, room 8.1.01.
There you will find everything you need to know about starting your degree program and how it is organized.

Preparatory Courses
Dear Students,
To help you get your studies off to a good start, in calendar week 41 we are offering a prep course in mathematics. The course will be held in two groups every day:
Group 1: 9 a.m. till 1 p.m.
Group 2: 1.30 till 5.30 p.m.
Both groups will cover identical topics. The only purpose of dividing you into smaller groups is so that we can provide more effective help with specific problems. In our experience, fewer people attend group 2. For this reason, we advise you to attend group 2 if you found the pre-test difficult.
Dates and rooms:
- Room 8.2.01/02 (above the Audimax).
- EXCEPTIONS: Group A (morning) will take place in room 6.1.19 on Monday and Tuesday.
Make use of the pre-test to get an overview of the course content and review your existing knowledge!
The prep course now has a dedicated course room on the Moodle learning platform. Here’s the link. This is where you can register for the preparatory course and find materials such as the pre-test, course slides and exercises.
