First semester information

We offer a number of additional programmes to ensure the best possible start to your studies. We recommend attending our preliminary maths course before you start your studies. This starts two weeks before the start of lectures at Ostfalia. More information can be found further down on this page.

The maths pre-course starts on September, Monday 07th,2026. Time and room information after registration for this class.

The preparatory maths course serves to refresh school maths knowledge with a special focus on the knowledge required later in the degree course and is held in the rooms of the Faculty of Computer Science/IT in German language. This also gives everyone the opportunity to get to know some of our lecturers, the rooms and their first fellow students before you start your degree programme.

There, until 1:00 p.m., students will have the opportunity to take part in various interactive activities and socialize in a relaxed atmosphere over pretzels, waffles, and drinks.
