Are you planning a study and careers information fair at your school and would like Fachhochschule Dortmund to make a contribution?

Fachhochschule Dortmund's Student Advisory Service will be happy to take part in your event with an information stand and interactive presentations on all aspects of studying and choosing a course. If you wish, we can also visit you together with students and representatives of the study programs.

Irrespective of larger events, we can also come to your school for information presentations in individual school classes by arrangement.

We offer an orientation workshop in small groups for pupils who do not yet know what they should do after leaving school.

In the workshop, the students take an in-depth look at themselves and receive tips on how to make a good choice of studies.

The workshop can be held both digitally and in person at Fachhochschule Dortmund or at your school.

There is often math in it without it obviously being written on it! This often overlooked detail is particularly important for later academic success when considering and deciding on a course of study. But how can you find a study program that doesn't hold any surprises later on because the requirements in certain areas, e.g. mathematics, don't match your personal requirements?

The workshop

• provides information on how to search for study requirements and the importance of mathematics within certain study programs,
• provides an overview of training opportunities to refresh your math skills before you start your studies,
• includes a small math self-test, which allows students to take a targeted look at the requirements of the degree course and their own skills,
• introduces the advice and support services offered by Fachhochschule Dortmund.

Where, how and when?
The workshop is offered by arrangement. For larger groups (whole school classes or levels) a separate date is possible by prior arrangement.

For further information and individual appointments, please contact our contact person.

The transition from school to university is a major challenge for many students in STEM subjects. Due to different ways of thinking and working and different requirements that are needed to develop mathematical concepts, definitions, theorems or proofs, a mathematical gap can arise.

To counteract this gap, Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts developed the "Mathematics Bridge Course" in cooperation with the Regional Education Office of the City of Dortmund(Opens in a new tab) :

Pupils from selected Dortmund schools are prepared for a STEM degree course by being taught and deepening the necessary mathematics knowledge, even beyond the school curriculum. Trained tutors from Fachhochschule Dortmund are assigned to the schools for this purpose.

If there is a group of interested pupils, a weekly appointment is arranged, which takes place regularly throughout the school year. Specific topics covered include complex numbers and integral calculus. Here, the basics are reinforced, expanded and insights into university mathematics are provided.

Are you interested in our services and would you like some advice? Then please contact us by e-mail  or by telephone during our weekly telephone consultation hour for teachers.
