Your first Contact persons:
Mentors
Our tutors in the math pre-course are also your mentors. They are all in higher semesters and already know their way around the course. During the math pre-course, you can go to the canteen for lunch together every day, so there is time for all your questions about studying and you can get first-hand tips directly from future fellow students.
Student Council
The student council for economics (student representation) appoints a first-year student advisor who you can contact at any time with questions about your studies.
