If you would like to brush up on your mathematics skills, you can join the supervised Online Mathematics Course (OMB+) at any time.  Registration and information

S.o.S. - Study without language barriers

S.O.S. ("Studieren ohne Sprachbarrieren") is a peer-teaching program in which German-speaking students support their international fellow students in their learning. The German students are qualified as language coaches and then offer intercultural learning groups in which they work with 2 to 8 foreign-language students on the contents of a jointly attended course. Difficulties in understanding the technical language can be discussed here directly. In the joint work, important methodological skills for the course of study are also imparted and contacts to German and international students are established.
