In times when the dropout rate in STEM subjects is over 30%, we have created a new and long-term concept to make the transition from school to university easier. Corona in particular exacerbated this situation and many high school graduates felt and still feel ill-equipped for university studies. This is why prospective students with a German Abitur are now also benefiting from the proven concept of the integration program. They are given the opportunity to prepare specifically for studying at the University of Lübeck.
The propaedeutic course is taught by doctoral students and students from the university's higher semesters. Our teaching staff receive didactic training through internal further and advanced training. It is part of our concept that students teach the preparatory courses: This is because they can not only teach prospective students the subject lessons, but also report from their own study experiences. They know exactly what is important in the first year of study.
