New to the Faculty
We are very pleased to welcome you to the Faculty of Business Studies! With our programme, consisting of preparatory courses, information events, orientation days and much more, we ensure a good start to your studies. Take the opportunity to get to know the faculty and get an overview of the most important processes. We also support your academic success during the further course of your studies with further offers within the framework of Studi-Support.
Preparatory courses
In a business and economics degree programme, mathematical knowledge as well as knowledge of accounting are required. If you would like to brush up on your school knowledge before starting your studies, you have the opportunity to take part in preparatory courses. These courses start before the official start of studies and are voluntary. The Faculty of Business Studies offers bridging courses in mathematics (for Business Studies and Global Business and Economics) and accounting (only for Business Studies).
University account
The university account is the user account for central access-restricted services at FH Aachen. A university account is set up for every student. After registration you will receive your access data from the Registrar's Office, which you can use to activate your account. After the activation it can take about 24 hours before you can use your university account and your university email address.
The university account is used for authentication when logging on to computer workstations at the FH, email and WIFI. You also need the account to register for preparatory courses or lectures.
The university will only communicate with you via your university address. According to the enrolment regulations of the FH Aachen, you are obliged to check the email account provided by the FH Aachen regularly (at least once a day) in order to receive documents and messages from the FH Aachen.
On the pages of the data processing centre you will find, among other things, information on the different forms of authentication, the activation and the setting options of your account.
WLAN on campus
On the entire area of the FH Aachen you have free access to the WIFI network eduroam, which you can connect to by entering your access data.
Orientation week
Studies, city and university life
The orientation week before the start of your studies is a lot of fun. It is organised by students from higher semesters who are involved in the student body of the faculty (Fachschaft) and as first-year tutors. This way you can get to know the university and Aachen and make first contacts with your fellow students.
The orientation week in the summer semester 2024 will take place from 25 - 28 March 2024. This is organised by the student body of the faculty (Fachschaft).

After the first weeks of lectures, we will provide you with a checklist after the start of lectures (Bachelor).
