One of the subjects that will be challenging in the first semester is Algorithms and Data Structures (for Medical Technicians) (AuD-MT). This subject is the biggest hurdle for many Bachelor’s students in the first semester, so we recommend (especially for newcomers to programming) that you take the computer science revision course, which is offered as an online course. You can register here.
We will also be offering a Java crash course after the start of the semester.This is expected to take place in the week from 21.10 – 27.10. Voting will take place via the WhatsApp group and further information will be announced via our social media and website.
You can find your study plan here. This shows that you have AuD-MT, UuU, BISE, ML&DDB and the WIN project week in the first semester. You can find out the dates of the individual courses on the websites of the chairs and on Campo. We have created a tutorial for creating a timetable in Campo. Here you can find official information about creating your timetable.
The basic and orientation examination is not a single examination, but is made up of several examinations that students take during the first two semesters (at the latest in the third). The GOP is intended to provide students with reliable feedback on their suitability for the chosen degree program at an early stage.
The GOP examinations may only be repeated once in the event of failure. This means that anyone who fails a GOP on the second attempt has already definitively failed at this point and is unfortunately no longer allowed to continue studying the subject in question, not even at other universities.
To be able to use the WISO underground parking garage, you must submit an application. You only have to pay the usage fee of 50 euros once every semester at WISO. You can find the application form here. Unfortunately, the deadline for the application has already passed. You can try again next semester.
