RWTH: Higher Mathematics Compact Course for First-Semester Students

RWTH is offering the compact course “hm4mint-intensive” once again. Students can take the first-semester module “(Higher) Mathematics 1” here and take the exam before they start their studies.


Mathematical knowledge is crucial right from the beginning of many degree programs, therefore, the module is particularly important for the transition from school to university. Instructors pick up from what the first-year students previously learned in mathematics classes at school and repeat these skills from a university perspective. The intensive course is intended to take some of the pressure off the first semester and to give participants the opportunity to already have some experience with university studies.

The course will include online tutorials, Q&A sessions, and lecture videos via RWTH’s virtual learning platforms, and, for the first time, participants can also attend seminars on campus. Another new feature is the tailored variant for the Bachelor’s degree program in business administration.
