For students of the following programmes: Computer science and business informatics Language and text technology or computational linguistics and digital humanities a course on the subject of “Formal Basics of Computer Science” Participation is offered. It's voluntary, but  we recommend it Since it takes place parallel to a number of events on the orientation days, you must and can decide for yourself to what extent you want to take part in this course. Of course, you can easily switch between events. This will also be discussed on the first day of the course. Further information on this page on this page (in German)
