Gap Courses
In order to freshen up your A-level-knowledge a bit and to prepare you for the start of various modules, there are preparatory courses at Dresden University of Technology in the weeks before the beginning of lectures. These are the so-called gap courses in mathematics, physics and chemistry, as well as the online preparatory courses in mathematics, physics and computer science. It is particularly worthwhile for our undergraduate students to stop by there.
