Pre-course math

Study business administration without math? Not possible!

HWG Ludwigshafen supports its students with two offers to make sure that the math part of their studies goes well:

  • Math pre-course: The Math pre-course takes place every semester as a synchronous online event , lasts one week and starts shortly before the first lectures.
  • Online OMB+ course: The external Online Mathematics Bridge Course Plus can be taken independently at any time, with support from tutors.

Through both offerings, you can refresh or relearn math skills from your school days. This way you start your studies well prepared.

The math pre-course

  • offers the chance to repeat math knowledge from school, to deepen it or even to learn it anew,
  • is not a compulsory course, students can participate in the math pre-course on a voluntary basis,
  • is a free offer for (prospective) students of the HWG Ludwigshafen,
  • is primarily aimed at new students who are about to start a business-oriented course of study.

So if you are about to study a Bachelor's degree program in the fields of Management, Controlling, Healthcare or Marketing and Human Resources Management or Services and Consulting at HWG Ludwigshafen, you definitely belong to the target group.
 

You are unsure: Is my knowledge of mathematics sufficient? Or should I take the math pre-course?
The following can help you decide:
 

Decision aid 1: School time and final grade
We always recommend the math pre-course,

  • if your math lessons in school were longer than a year ago
  • or you had a 3 ("satisfactory") or 4 ("sufficient") as your final grade in math.
     

Decision aid 2: Measure by content
Already know today what will soon be taught in your pre-college math course?
No problem: Take your time and click through the excerpt from the lecture notes and a few selected exercise sheets.
Ask yourself: would you have known? If not: We recommend that you take the math pre-course.

The one-week preliminary math course in the summer semester 2024 took place from 26.02. to 01.03.2024.

The date for the one-week preliminary math course in the winter semester 2024/2025 will be announced here in good time.

The online self-study course OMB+ is available to HWG Ludwigshafen students at any time.

  • Are you studying a bachelor's degree program in Departments I, II or III?
  • You don't have time to participate in the one-week math pre-course before the start of your studies?
  • You would rather repeat and supplement school math knowledge flexibly and independently?

No problem! Learn with the Online Mathematics Bridge Course Plus (OMB+)

The online course presents the content in a well-structured way, with videos, examples and comprehension checks; exercises show solution paths and approaches; training tasks can be worked on independently; in addition, quizzes support the knowledge check.

The course can also be completed in English, French and Chinese, as well as bilingually (with German) in each case.
