You don't have to. You can borrow the book from the University and State Library (ULB)1. However, there is a limited number of copies. The course can also be completed without a book. The lecturer will show slides in the lecture and you can take notes. In the exercise groups, tasks from the book will be used. The course tutors have a copy available.

No, you don't have to, but it's a good opportunity to get to know your fellow students and the facilities. If you did not complete your Abitur this year but before, we recommend attending the course.

The StudiTicket is only valid from 01.04. or 01.10. of a year (= start of semester). If the preliminary course takes place before April 1 or October 1, the ticket is unfortunately not yet valid.

However, you can apply for a trainee ticket from the VRS if you have your primary residence in the VRS fare zone and are taking part in an official pre-course at the University of Bonn. Find out more here: Trainee ticket for first semester students.2

The course participants are divided into groups in which the exercises take place. Each group has a tutor who offers to go out to eat together in the canteen. The food is available at the student rate. There is also a cafeteria in the Juridicum where you can buy sandwiches, snacks, coffee and drinks.

You are already studying Economics in Bonn:

The preliminary math course is designed for first-year students. For economics students from higher semesters, we recommend the intensive tutorial in mathematics. This is a 4-hour tutorial during the semester accompanying the math A lecture. The exercise times can be found in the electronic course catalog4.

You study Law & Economics / Teaching degree Social Sciences:

Please clarify with your contact person from Law&Economics whether you can already take the math pre-course. If this is the case, you are welcome to register with us.

In recent semesters, we have found that students studying teaching degree sometimes have difficulties with the methodological requirements in economics lectures. Participation in the math pre-course is therefore recommended. For the lecture "Macroeconomics B" there is a separate tutorial for teaching degree students, in which missing methodological knowledge is taken into account.

You are studying in another degree program at the University of Bonn/not at the University of Bonn

Unfortunately no. For capacity reasons, we cannot admit students from other degree programs to the preliminary math course.

Unfortunately, no. For capacity reasons, we can only admit first semester students who will be studying economics in Bonn.
