Questions and answers about the maths preparatory course for new students
If you have any organisational questions about the maths preparatory course, the staff at the Service Centre will be happy to help you.
One week before the start of lectures, the so-called Orientation Week, or OWO for short, takes place for first-year students.
Here you can get to know your fellow students and learn everything important about your studies, study planning, exams and so on. Your mentors will answer all your questions so that you can start your studies well prepared.
In mentoring, experienced students accompany you throughout your first semester. In one-on-one meetings and workshops, you will discuss organizational and exam-related topics and receive advice for a successful start to your studies. In addition, your mentor is your contact person for all questions regarding your studies.
To participate in mentoring, registration in TUCaN is necessary.
If you have any organisational questions about the mentoring, you can contact us by email.
For Master's students in the etit and MEC programmes, we offer an introductory event every semester that provides an overview of the structure of the Master's programme and discusses study planning and organisation. In addition, you will learn more about the main provisions of the examination regulations and their practical implementation. The event is offered at the beginning of the winter semester as well as at the beginning of the summer semester.
