Ideal for newly enrolled students in Engineering and Natural Sciences, Business Informatics, and Statistics.
Preparation courses provide a condensed review of material taught at higher levels schools in order to prepare students for initial university-level lectures. New students without a prior background in programming will learn basic programming in order to successfully take part in university-level courses.
Those who sign up for preparatory classes must be officially enrolled at the JKU. After being admitted to your major (and for any major requiring you to take the preparation courses), you can register for classes via KUSSS, opens an external URL in a new window (Kepler University Study Support System); preparation courses are free of charge.
