Block B: Qualification
ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE.
Modules in Block B
especially for prospective students of
- engineering sciences
- science (chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics)
- civil and environmental engineering
Studying in the scientific/technical field is considered challenging. Perhaps you are asking yourself the question: "Can I do it at all"? In order to fill possible gaps in your knowledge, Block B contains math lectures that are specially tailored to the needs of prospective students. They cover topics that are often only dealt with optionally at school while, at the same time, introducing you to university learning.
| Module | Courses | Credit Points | When? | Exam performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basics Analysis | 2 SWS lecture + 2 SWS tutorial |
4 | winter semester | exam |
| Basics Algebra | 2 SWS lecture + 2 SWS tutorial |
4 | summer semester | exam |
Alternative modules in Block B
especially for prospective students of humanities and social sciences
In the course of your studies, you will be confronted again and again with the task of writing a term paper or a giving an academic presentation. To make your first term paper and presentation a success, Module B teaches you the most important aspects of writing and presenting an academic paper.
In the online and face-to-face workshops of the Writing Center you will learn the basic methods, forms and rules of academic reading and writing. You can then apply the methods you have learned in the form of a first academic text. At the end of the OSM semester, you will present your text by summarizing and presenting the main findings and results.
| Module | Courses | Credit Points | When? | Exam performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Introduction to academic working 1 | seminar + self-study |
4 | winter semester | conception of an academic paper + presentation of the conception |
| Introduction to academic working 2 | seminar + self-study |
4 | summer semester | short academic paper + presentation of the most important results |
