Dear students,

This includes an orientation meeting on October 2nd and pre-courses in Mathematics and Chemitry. Students, who have little knowledge in mathematics and/or chemistry are strongly advised to attend to the lectures and work on the exercises. The kowledge taught in these courses will be needed throughout the programme. More information on these precourses can be found below.
