Introductory events
To help first-year students get off to a good start, various orientation and information sessions are offered. At the beginning of each semester, a preparatory course in mathematics is offered that reviews key topics from high school. Registration takes place via the Department of Mathematics website.
At the beginning of each semester, the student council organizes a so-called “Freshman Seminar.” The seminar includes various activities during which students from the Chemistry Student Council introduce the curriculum, the professors, and the departments. Further information is published on the Chemistry Student Council’s Freshman Orientation website.
