Welcome letter All Students
- Official registration period for all courses in Campus Management is October 2 - November 03, 2023
Booking in Campus Management is required for all courses! Some classes consist of more than one course (...1/2, ... a/b/c). For completing the corresponding module all courses must be booked. - Places in courses with space limitations will be allocated on Friday, October 13, beginning at 12:00 PM.
- Some courses also require an additional registration in Whiteboard (Guide to Whiteboard System). If you can't find a course in Whiteboard, registration in Whiteboard is probably not needed. In case of doubt, please ask the lecturer.
- The language of instruction in all master programs can be German or English. However, it has to be English if students without sufficient knowledge of German participate in a course. (There may be exceptions for courses that originate from other programs).
- For more details on the study program, curriculum, study regulations etc., please have look on the page Profile and Structure.
- If you're looking for a research internship or thesis, here are some suggestions.
-
If you have any general questions concerning the structure or organization of the program, please contact the course coordinator or the examination office. Questions about individual courses should always be directed to the instructor.
