Pre-course math
Study business administration without math? Not possible!
HWG Ludwigshafen supports its students with two offers to make sure that the math part of their studies goes well:
- Math pre-course: The Math pre-course takes place every semester as a synchronous online event , lasts one week and starts shortly before the first lectures.
- Online OMB+ course: The external Online Mathematics Bridge Course Plus can be taken independently at any time, with support from tutors.
Through both offerings, you can refresh or relearn math skills from your school days. This way you start your studies well prepared.
Pre-course math: who should attend?
The math pre-course
- offers the opportunity to repeat, deepen or relearn math skills from school,
- is not a compulsory course, students can take part in the math pre-course voluntarily,
- is a free offer for (prospective) students of the HWG Ludwigshafen,
- is primarily aimed at new students who are about to start a business-oriented course of study.
So if you are about to start a Bachelor's degree program in the Departments of Management, Controlling, Healthcare or Marketing and Human Resources Management or Services and Consulting at HWG Ludwigshafen, you definitely belong to the target group.
You are unsure: Is my knowledge of mathematics sufficient? Or should I take the math pre-course?
The following can help you decide:
Decision aid 1: School years and final grade
We always recommend the math pre-course,
- if your math lessons at school were more than a year ago
- or you had a 3 ("satisfactory") or 4 ("sufficient") as your final grade in math.
Decision-making aid 2: Measure by content
Do you already know today what will soon be educated in your math pre-course?
No problem: Take your time to click through the excerpt from the lectures script and a few selected exercise sheets.
Ask yourself: Would you have known? If not: We recommend that you take part in the math pre-course.
