With the Come in weeks, you can optimally prepare for the start of your studies at the HSZG!
Our preliminary courses offer you the opportunity to test and refresh your knowledge in the subjects of mathematics, chemistry, physics, electrical engineering and computer science.
We have also thought about leisure activities: you will meet new faces and there will be many opportunities to get to know each other. According to the motto: "by students for students", an organizational team of five students will work hard for you. Together with other students, you will experience some highlights of your (new) adopted home in the best of company!
Please note: Registration is required for both the preliminary courses and the leisure activities!
Online registration is possible HERE from June 15.
Relevant basic mathematics knowledge is taught and repeated in the preliminary course. It is the ideal preparation for the Math 1 lectures in the first semester. The preliminary course consists of lectures, pre-calculations and exercises and ends with a final test. The test gives you individual feedback on your level of performance.
Contents of the preliminary course: Basic arithmetic, powers, roots, logarithms, equations, functions, derivatives
Please bring: scientific calculator (no model specification!)
Registration required. Dates are subject to change.
all students at the Zittau location who have mathematics in their studies see module catalog and need a math refresher. Download our self-test and check your math knowledge. The test will help you decide whether you should take part in the preliminary math course.

In the electrical engineering preliminary course, basic concepts of electrical engineering are developed, the first fundamental relationships of electrical circuits are introduced and calculated using simple examples. It aims to build on previous knowledge of mathematics and physics and build a bridge to the forthcoming degree course. The preliminary course consists of lectures with exercises and a final laboratory practical.
Contents of the preliminary course: Basic concepts of electrical engineering (electrical charge, current, voltage, resistance, power), basics of electrical circuits (resistor circuits in parallel and series connection).
Please bring: Calculator, blackboard
Registration required. Dates are subject to change.
Students of the degree programs Automation and Mechatronics, Electrical Energy Systems
This preliminary course is aimed at beginners in programming. The first section provides an introduction to how you can create simple websites using HTML and CSS technologies. The second section focuses on JavaScript. After a brief introduction to programming, you will learn how to program simple interactions for websites and web apps using JavaScript.
Contents of the preliminary course: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Please bring along: Motivation and your own notebook
Registration required. Dates are subject to change.
Students of computer science, economics and computer science
The preliminary course teaches techniques that you will need (not only) in physics to experiment and analyze scientific and technical processes. The preliminary course is designed to be practical and is by no means just a repetition of physical school knowledge.
Contents of the preliminary course: data acquisition, data evaluation, data presentation, modeling, etc.
Please bring along: Calculator, graph paper, pencil, ruler
Registration required. Dates are subject to change.
all students at the Zittau location who have physics in their studies (see module catalog ) and need a refresher course in physics work practices.
This preliminary course serves as a refresher in the basics of chemistry. It offers opportunities to review chemical arithmetic, basic principles of atomic and bonding theories, as well as setting up general reaction equations. The preliminary course consists of lectures with exercises.
Contents of the preliminary course: Atomic models, types of bonding, structure of the periodic table of elements, setting up chemical reaction equations, stoichiometric calculations, basics of acid-base theory and pH value calculations, introduction to the course of chemical reactions from a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective
Please bring along: Calculator, board book with periodic table of the elements
Registration required. Dates are subject to change.
Students of Molecular Biotechnology, Ecology and Environmental Protection
Participation in the preliminary courses is free of charge.
If you are eligible for BAföG, you can receive BAföG for the month of September if you attend at least one of our preliminary courses in person (all dates!). Important: The application must be submitted to the responsible authorityat by 30.09. at the latest.
Proof of participation is provided by means of a participation list, which is sent centrally by the HSZG to the BaföG office.
Participation in the leisure activities does not entitle you to early receipt of BAföG.
