Our recommendation for all first-year students!

Experience has shown that the start of academic study in many disciplines depends heavily on a sound mathematical foundation. For this reason, HFT Stuttgart offers incoming students the opportunity to review and/or consolidate the mathematical fundamentals relevant to their programme of study before their studies formally commence.

The bridging course is aimed at new students who wish to revisit core concepts and strengthen their foundational knowledge.

The advanced course is designed for new students who achieved strong results at school and already possess a solid, developable grounding in mathematics. The SkiLL Centre (Service Centre for Competence-Based & Innovative Teaching & Learning) is responsible for organising these mathematics courses.

Math Refresher

Winter Semester 2026/27:

The Mathematics Bridging Course and the Mathematics Advanced Course will take place from 21 to 25 September 2026. Both courses will run each day from 9:00 am to 4:15 pm on campus.

Please register via Eveeno by 16 September 2026.

We strongly recommend completing the COSH test in advance, which is accessible through the external Moodle platform. When registering, use your personal email address, not your HFT email address. The enrolment key for the Moodle course is HFT2026MATHE.

Further information regarding the bridging course — including timetables and other details — is also available via the External Moodle platform. You may also contact the SKILL team at brueckenkurs(at)hft-stuttgart.de.

Become a tutor for the math refresher

Do you enjoy passing on your knowledge of (among other things) algebra, elementary functions and trigonometry to prospective students? Then become a tutor in the math refresher and the first point of contact at the university for first-year students. The first-year students will get to know you as committed, active students from higher semesters who will make it easier for them to get started, and not just in mathematics. This is a valuable and profitable commitment that will help you progress both professionally and personally!
