+++ The first introductory lecture for the preliminary course and the Bachelor's degree programme in Medical Engineering will take place on Monday, 31 August, at 8:30 a.m. in lecture hall 00R13 in the round library building on the Jülich campus. Registration is not required and all freshers are cordially invited to attend.
Pre-course maths
Before the start of the semester, all first-semester students in the Bachelor’s degree programs Medizintechnik / Medical Engineering are offered the opportunity to take part in the Vorkurs Mathematik at Campus Jülich.
Participation is voluntary, but strongly recommended.
Students from other Bachelor’s degree programs at FH Aachen are also very welcome, particularly new students from departments based at Campus Jülich as well as students in later semesters who would like to refresh or strengthen their mathematical foundations. The course is also open to international students, with a multilingual tutor team available to support them where needed.
The topics covered in the Vorkurs Mathematik will come up repeatedly throughout your Bachelor’s degree. Many later courses build directly on these fundamentals and assume that you are already familiar with them. The more confident you are with the basics, the easier it will be to focus on the new material when you encounter it. The preparation course therefore gives you an opportunity to refresh what you already know, identify any gaps, and regain confidence in working with mathematics. For new Medizintechnik / Medical Engineering students, there is an additional incentive: the Vorkurs test provides another opportunity in connection with the bonus point system in „Mathematik 1“.
The Vorkurs Mathematik for the winter semester 2026/27 will take place from 31 August to 11 September 2026 in lecture hall 00R13 (formerly 00A01), located in the round library building at Campus Jülich. In addition to attending in person, you can also join online and watch recordings of the sessions afterwards. Once you have enrolled at FH Aachen, you will receive your ILIAS login details, which you can use to join the course „Vorkurs Mathematik 2026“. There you will find all current information, course materials, the link for online participation, recordings, and the forum for your questions. Please check the ILIAS forum regularly, as Vorkurs information emails will only be sent rarley.
As an additional service from the Vorkurs team, you can also use the Studienstart Begleiter GPT. It can be a helpful place to turn when you need a quick answer, whether about the course content, the examination regulations, or other topics related to starting your studies. Please note, however, that this is an optional additional service and its availability cannot be guaranteed. You should always check its answers critically before relying on them.
