Description
The mathematical demands in (Medical) Physics Bachelor’s degree programs in Germany constitute a significant obstacle and contribute to high dropout rates. An interconnected digital network that bridges school-level and academic mathematics aims to close the gap between upper secondary education and the first weeks of university study. The oral presentation outlines the structure of this initiative, its integration into a broader reform model of the degree program at TU Dortmund, and its aim to be perceived and accepted by students as a supportive and effective learning resource.
