... and what we do
Our program is designed as a supplemental offer for students of the humanities.
Our program's goals are
- to facilitate your start and to improve your performance in your first semesters
and - to promote interdisciplinary exchange
We would like to support you in
- finding the subject that fits you
- getting started
- closing knowledge gaps
- developing an interdisciplinary profile that is necessary for your academic and professional career
Thee pre-entry and pathway program of the Faculty of Humanities is part of the model "individual space of study".
Our program addresses
- beginners
- students in their first semesters
- high school students and anybody interested to take up a course in the humanities
Depending on students' individual biographical backgrounds, the preconditions for successful studies are heterogenous: Consolidated knowledge in one field very often doesn't exclude deficits in another field.
Our program welcomes in particular those students who finished their secondary education in non-European countries, and who would like to get an introduction to their subjects within the European framework and to German university culture.
- Our preliminary courses provide a successful transition from secondary to tertiary education.
- Our program's interdisciplinary approach offers you the opportunity to meet fellow students "across the humanities".
- You will be made aware of the common basis of the humanities; borderlines between the individual disciplines become permeable.
- B. A. students in their first semesters (1 - 3) will be offered support.
