Study start
A warm welcome to your degree programme at the Faculty of Mathematics! Here you will find all the information you need to get started with your studies. Further information can be found on your degree programme’s page.
The lecture period for the 2026/27 winter semester begins on 12 October 2026. Some introductory sessions and preparatory courses, such as the bridging course, will take place before then.
Introductory sessions
- Introductory sessions organised by the Central Student Advisory Service
- for Teacher Training 5–6 October 2026
- for the Bachelor of Arts 6–7 October 2026
- Introduction to the Bachelor’s and Teacher Training (Gymnasium) programmes in Mathematics
on Monday 12 October at 8.30 am in H 32 - Introduction to the Master’s in Mathematics
on Thursday, 8 October at 9.30 am in room M 101
(particularly for students who did not complete their Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Regensburg)
Bridge course for teaching degree and Bachelor's degree
The Faculty of Mathematics offers a two-week bridging course (external link, opens in a new window) in the winter semester in which, among other things, typical mathematical working methods, in particular proof techniques, are practised. The voluntary course is rated as very helpful by participants - both in terms of getting into mathematics and getting to know fellow students.
Date: 21.09. - 02.10.2026
The course takes place in presence, weekdays from 09:00 to 16:00!
Introductory event organised by the Mathematics/Physics Students’ Representative Committee
The Mathematics/Physics Student Council is organising two three-day introductory events for first-year students during the winter semester, in the week before the start of term. These voluntary events offer the opportunity to get to know one another through group activities and to clarify any questions about the degree programme. Overall, the sessions are designed to make the start of your degree programme easier.
1st session: 5–7 October 2026
2nd session: 7–9 October 2026

Courses in the 1st semester for the minor in Business Informatics
Due to scheduling clashes with mathematics courses, no course in the Business Informatics minor can be recommended for the winter semester 2026/27.
Elective area
You will need to earn at least 11 credit points during your degree. In the elective area, any course at the University of Regensburg for which a description specifying credit points is available can be counted towards your requirements, for example language courses, presentation courses or computer courses. A programming course in the C language is recommended, for example, as knowledge of C is a prerequisite for later lectures on numerical methods. These are offered by the Department of Physics as a block course during the lecture-free period and during the lecture term.
Registration for courses
- Mathematics subject area
You will receive the relevant registration information for a course in the first lesson. You can register for lectures in advance in the university-wide course catalogues.
