Making the right start

Mathematics

Mathematics plays an important role in Economics and Business Administration as subsidiary subjects.

Therefore we recommend:

In case you are unable to attend the Information Event, please contact the  SSIX Info Center.

Timetable

  • Which modules should I take in the first semester?
    In Appendix A of the  Examination Regulations you will find the required modules to complete your subsidiary studies. Please see also notes regarding Study Plan.

  • What exactly does a module consist of?
    At the Faculty of Economics and Business, a module usually consists of a lecture, an exercise and a tutorial. There is no need to register in order to attend the lectures, but this may be necessary for exercises and tutorials. If this is the case, you will be told at the first lecture and/or you will find the information in the Course Catalog (QIS/LSF).

Note:

The Faculty of Economics and Business advises against setting up a forwarding system and strongly recommends accessing emails directly on the Webmail server.
Unfortunately, some email providers classify university emails as spam or even do not display them in a spam folder. This means you may not be aware that the University has contacted you.

Study Groups

Joining up with other students in study groups will help you to cope with the demands of your studies.

  • You can form learning groups with people you have met at your courses, or by posting some kind of notice to look for fellow students.
  • A maximum of three to six participants
  • The group work rooms in the Law and Economics Library are one possible meeting place for your study groups.
    In addition, the Studentenwerk Frankfurt am Main provides space for study groups in the Casino Cafeteria (1st floor) and the Café Rotunde as well as an auditorium and the foyer in the Casino Annex on Campus Westend after their closing hours. This does not apply on days when the rooms are booked for events.
