Tutorials and revision courses

Subject Tutorials
Subject tutorials have a long tradition at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. In the tutorials, students with technical and didactic training provide advanced course content and practical orientation. You can attend the tutorials without prior registration. The tutorials that are offered in the current semester can be found in the course catalog in the online portal. Please note that the schedule may be updated and adjusted on an ongoing basis.


Repetitories
Repetitories were offered for the first time in SS 12. Qualified repetitors support small learning groups on the topic "how do I learn best", often with reference to specific examinations and written exams. This offer is primarily aimed at students in their 2nd and 3rd attempt. The aim of the revision courses is to support students with greater difficulties in preparing for exams. Attendance of the revision courses is only possible after prior registration - please note the remark in the course catalog.


If you have any questions or comments regarding the tutorials and revision courses at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics, you can contact the relevant university teacher / lecturer or the Student Degree Programme Counselling.
