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 the Zentrum Bildung zB.

Mathematics
If you meet the admission requirements for the program but have a non-technical high school diploma, we recommend attending the Mathematics Bridge Course. If you have completed your vocational baccalaureate in a technical field but your mathematics skills are somewhat rusty, attending a refresher course would be beneficial for you.
Mathematics Bridge Course
This course covers the content of the specialized mathematics subject from the technical vocational baccalaureate (including elementary geometry). The course comprises 100 lessons of instruction and approximately 80-120 hours of homework. The courses are organized through the zB. Center for Education – Business School KV Aargau East (zB. Brugg). The courses are 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 Campus Brugg-Windisch. If you begin your studies at the University of Applied Sciences for Computer Science in the same year as the course, 50% of the course costs will be credited toward your tuition fees. You can find more information at the Zentrum Bildung zB.
Mathematics Refresher Course
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.
