Mathematics bridge project: MINT²START
Study preparation for pupils
The transition from school to university is a major challenge for many students in STEM subjects. Due to different ways of thinking and working and different requirements that are needed to develop mathematical concepts, definitions, theorems or proofs, a mathematical gap can arise.
To counteract this gap, Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts developed the "Mathematics Bridge Project" in cooperation with the Regional Education Office of the City of Dortmund(Opens in a new tab) :

Pupils from selected schools in Dortmund are prepared for a STEM degree course by being taught and deepening their knowledge of mathematics beyond the school curriculum. Trained tutors from Fachhochschule Dortmund are assigned to the schools for this purpose.
If there is a group of interested pupils, a weekly appointment is arranged, which takes place regularly throughout the school year. Specific topics covered include complex numbers and integral calculus. Here, the basics are reinforced, expanded and insights into university mathematics are provided.
Secondary school pupils from selected schools in Dortmund are prepared for a WiMINT course of study by learning and consolidating the necessary mathematics knowledge, even beyond the school curriculum, in weekly courses.
