Preliminary courses
To help students get started on their Bachelor’s degree, we offer a workshop and preparatory courses in mathematics and programming. In these intensive courses, you can brush up on your maths skills, gain an initial insight into programming and get to know your fellow students.

You shouldn’t miss out on this opportunity. We strongly recommend that you attend the courses!
