Bridge Courses
Repeat school math one more time? Polish up basic chemistry skills? All of that is possible before your studies through our bridge courses.
RWTH Bridge Courses
Starting the Beginning of August
The bridge courses start at the beginning of August and end shortly before lectures begin. You can freely decide which courses you would like to take. You can also register for two courses that overlap each other, and then later leave one early.
Basic Course: University Studies – the Transition Made Easy
The Basic Course: University Studies offers orientation tips and tricks to new RWTH students in addition to the preparatory bridge courses.
Online Courses (available throughout the year)
Online Math Course
Our online mathematics bridge course (OMB) is available to you for the whole year.
hm4mint.nrw – Online Course Higher Mathematics I
A new online course involving multiple universities has been developed by RWTH and FH Aachen as part of the Online Institutions NRW initiative. The hm4mint.nrw course is designed for both pupils and students. Providing they pass the course, it means they start their studies with the advantage of already having acquired credit points.
From August to October 2022, RWTH will be offering a guided version of the course, offering tutorials and questions and answer sessions, entitled hm4mint-intensiv. HM4mint-intensiv is a course that can be credited as Higher Mathematics 1 in many degree programs. It is an intensively supervised online course with daily instructor hours and tutorials.
Online Physics Cours
Our physics online bridge course is available to you for the whole year.
