Orientation Program Mathematics
Well-prepared for your studies: The TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) offers you various opportunities to prepare for your studies at the beginning of your mathematics program.
Mathematics Pre-course at the Start of Studies
TUM offers first-year students preparatory courses for various fields of study. The courses are a perfect introduction to successful studies and therefore highly recommended by the CIT. For future mathematics students, we offer a Precourse Mathematics for Mathematics and Physics (in German). The pre-course is not compulsory and is not a prerequisite. The lectures of your study program are based on the general knowledge acquired through the Abitur.
L&L – getting started with your Studies
The course Lehr- und Lernformen (L&L – Teaching & Learning) is conceived for all first-year students of mathematics and takes place within the Study Introductory Days (SET: Studieneinführungstage). During the SET Days, you will get to know the TUM and the Garching campus and make first contacts with fellow students. The practice lecture, exercise classes and group work within L&L will make it easier for you to start your studies at the CIT.
Please find all current information at Lehr- und Lernformen (L&L – Teaching & Learning).
Vacation Courses
Deepen your knowledge, repeat tricky topics and have your questions answered - vacation courses are ideal for those who want to prepare themselves for exams or need an introduction to software for mathematicians. The courses are a supplementary offer of our department, financed via study subsidies.
You are not required to attend. Also, we do not provide you any new teaching material you need to pass your exam. There are a number of one-day or several-day vacation courses on offer. Further information and the program can be found under vacation courses.
Vacation Seminar of the Hurwitz Society
A seminar in an informal atmosphere: Every year in fall, the Hurwitz Society for the promotion of mathematics at the TUM offers a vacation seminar for all students from the fourth semester on. It offers you the opportunity to listen to lectures, exchange professional ideas and get to know your lecturers better. The vacation seminar can be credited to your bachelor studies just like a regular seminar.
