Preparation for Your Studies
Are you interested in studying at the School of Computer Science but don't have any programming experience yet? Or perhaps you feel uncertain about your mathematics skills? We're here to support you!
Programming
If you don't have any programming experience, we recommend preparing for your studies at the School of Computer Science. You can either attend the Programming Bridging Course or prepare through self-study.
Programming Bridging Course
This course provides an introduction to procedural and object-oriented programming. You'll deepen your understanding of the concepts through programming exercises. You'll work with the programming languages "Processing" and "Java" or "Python." The course comprises 32 contact hours. The courses are organized by zB. Center for Education – Business School KV Aargau East (zB. Brugg), with instructors from the School of Computer Science FHNW. Classes take place on the FHNW Campus in Brugg-Windisch. You can find more information at theZentrum Bildung zB.

Mathematics
Wenn du die Zulassung zum Studium erfüllst, aber eine nicht-technische Matur hast, empfehlen wir dir den Besuch des Brückenkurses Mathematik.
Wenn du die BM im technischen Bereich abgeschlossen hast, aber deine Mathematikkenntnisse bereits etwas eingerostet sind, ist der Besuch eines Auffrischungskurses für dich sinnvoll.
Brückenkurs Mathematik
Im Kurs werden die Inhalte des Schwerpunktfachs Mathematik der technischen Berufsmaturität (inkl. elementare Geometrie) behandelt. Der Kurs umfasst 100 Lektionen Unterricht und rund 80-120 Stunden Hausaufgaben. Die Organisation der Kurse läuft über das zB. Zentrum Bildung – Wirtschaftsschule KV Aargau Ost (zB. Brugg). Die Kurse werden von Dozierenden des Instituts für Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften der Hochschule für Technik FHNW unterrichtet. Der Unterricht findet am FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch statt.
Weitere Informationen findest du beim Zentrum Bildung zB.
Auffrischungskurs Mathematik
This course covers the mathematics content of the technical vocational baccalaureate. The course comprises 48 lessons of instruction and approximately 30-50 hours of homework. The course is taught by instructors from the Institute of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Applied Sciences for Technology FHNW. Classes take place at the FHNW Cam-pus Brugg-Windisch.
