OPAL Registration and Basic Mathematics for Master Students

Scope of the Online Course

Master courses at the TU Chemnitz require a well founded basic knowledge of higher mathematics. Bachelor courses at the TU Chemnitz provide this knowledge by a series of lectures on higher mathematics. It is important for all applicants to familiarize with the required level of mathematical knowledge.

The faculty of mathematics at the TU Chemnitz wants to help applicants for a master course to testify their mathematical understanding and to raise it to the required level. To this end the faculty of mathematics offers a series of online exercises and tests covering all required mathematical disciplines. Applicants for a master course at the TU Chemnitz are encouraged to pass this online test.

The access to the online test is free. There is no restriction in the number of attempts to pass the online test. In contrary, participants are encouraged to familiarize with the mathematical topics using the supplementary material linked within the tests and to repeat the tests until they pass.
