Bachelor's seminar
General information
The Bachelor's seminar promotes the ability to work independently on mathematical content and to present the results obtained in both oral and written form.
In the Bachelor's seminars, the seminar leaders work as a team to organise the seminar lectures, moderate the lecture blocks, are also responsible for entering the seminar grades and advise students on finding supervisors. All mathematicians with a doctorate are eligible to supervise Bachelor's theses; in particular, all habilitated faculty members are obliged to do so.
The Bachelor's seminar in the Bachelor of Science comprises 10 ECTS.
