Preparatory course in mathematics
The preparatory course in mathematics offers you the perfect opportunity to refresh your mathematical knowledge and consolidate basic concepts before your studies really get underway. It will help you to close any gaps and prepare you optimally for the demands of the first semesters. Take advantage of this opportunity to get your degree programme off to a safe and successful start.
The world of media is full of maths.
(Prof. Dr Bernhard Eberhardt, Hochschule der Medien)
Experience shows that many first-year students have great difficulties in this subject and really struggle with it in the first two semesters. It doesn't have to be that way!
For several years now, the HdM has been offering a maths pre-course designed to help. On five consecutive days, you will learn (or repeat) the most important aspects of school maths before you really get down to business in the lectures.
In a relaxed atmosphere, you will alternate between theory and practical exercises (sometimes in supervised groups), where you can also get to know fellow students who may have similar problems. Everything will be easier together!
As a rule, the maths pre-course takes place every semester in the week before the start of the semester.
Online course EHM
The Hochschule der Medien offers online courses to all first-year students who want to do a little more, enabling them to brush up on their maths skills or to prepare specifically for university mathematics:
Maths has two aims at university...
- It is a tool for determining quantitative results in technical or business analyses.
- It serves to train the ability to abstract and structured logical thinking.
A high level of abstraction is essential for specialists and managers in order to develop and communicate viable solutions for complex tasks.
