In general, at the University of Göttingen you can have the Mathematical Summer Course credited as part of the so-called key competencies in all degree programmes that provide for such competencies. In some degree programmes it is even better: In the single and double Bachelor's degree programme Mathematics and in the Bachelor's degree programme Mathematical Data Science, the Mathematical Summer Course counts as an Analysis 1 module and thus replaces one of the two main mathematical lectures, which are usually taken in the first semester..
There is a package solution for the Bachelor's degree programme in Physics: you can replace the lectures ‘Mathematics for Physics Students 1 and 2’ with the mathematics lectures ‘Diff 1’ and ‘Diff 2’ as well as ‘AGLA 1’. However, this is only possible as a package, i.e. if you want to replace the modules, you must include all three maths lectures. There is a similar rule in Computer Science.

Yes, but as for all those who want to start their studies in October, it is important that you register as a guest student. This is possible in most cases without any problems; you can download a corresponding form from the Mathematical Summer Course website (see above) - on this you will find further instructions on what to do. If you are already registered at another university, please clarify your registration with us in advance.

The Mathematical Summer Course is free of charge for school students.

If you are no longer at a school but would like to start a degree programme in October, for example after completing your Abitur, you must register as a guest student. A fee of 75 euros will be charged, which you should have paid before the summer programme (more information on the registration form).

If you are already enrolled in a higher semester in Göttingen and have therefore already paid the regular fee, you do not have to register as a guest student and do not have to pay an additional fee.

In general, attendance is not compulsory for mathematics lectures at the University of Göttingen, and this is also the case here. The only exception to this is for school students: in consultation with their school, they can have the lecture recognised as a substitute for school lessons when registering, and in this case a written excuse must be submitted in case of non-attendance, as in school.

We have established a regulation that allows guest students to count the exam as a one-time free attempt. This means the exam will not count toward the number of attempts allowed to pass the lecture "Diff 1" for this one time. If you pass the summer session exam, you can even try to improve your grade in a later Diff 1 exam.

For students in early study programs, a failed attempt also does not count toward a later degree program. However, a passed exam can be credited in a future study program.

However, if you are already regularly enrolled in Göttingen, for example because you are using the Mathematical Summer Course to catch up on your Diff 1 certificate in the second or fourth semester, the exam will count as a regular attempt.
