Information for first-semester students in Bachelor's degree programmes
Even before the actual start of studies on a Bachelor's degree programme, we offer you support services. These include our bridging courses, the information event "About to start (info-session)" and information on the recognition of Business English, which we explain in more detail below.
About to Start (Info-Session)
FH Aachen | Fachbereichsmarketing Wirtschaftswissenschaften
We’d be delighted to provide you with all the important information and tips you need for the start of your studies at this event. You’ll learn how to create your timetable, what deadlines you need to bear in mind during your studies, and whether there are any specific deadlines for first-year students to be aware of.
You’ll also receive advice on how to plan your first semester, what you should bear in mind, which communication channels to use, and how to get off to a good start in your first semester. Don’t miss this event – the Student Advisory Service team is looking forward to seeing you.
If two sessions are offered for a particular degree programme, please note that they are identical.

- It must be clearly recognisable that the achievement is in Business English.
