Course registration
Course registration information for Research Master students, PhD students, and External participants
All regular courses are taught in blocks of eight weeks, with lectures during the first six (core courses) or seven weeks; the eighth week of each block typically serves as an exam week. In addition, first-year (core) courses have weekly one-hour classes, taught by a teaching assistant, in which students work on and discuss homework assignments.
Deadline for course registration for external participants is four weeks before the start of the block in which the course is scheduled. Late applications will incure a fee of 100 euro.
