Call for course registration – September 2026

The registration for methods and professional skills courses held in September 2026 will be open from 1 July 2026. Please check the updated overviews of Methods and Professional Skills courses.

You can register from 1-20 July online via Stud.IP for courses taking place in September; the slots will be allocated around 25 July.

Courses that do not reach the minimum number of participants will be cancelled. Only in very exceptional cases will we send reminders for courses which are not full yet, so make sure to register in time.

Please check carefully for scheduling conflicts. Registration after 20 July 2026 is not possible, please do not contact the course instructors. All communication regarding the courses should be via the GAUSS or GGNB Office.

In case you have registered but then need to cancel a course, you can still do so in Stud.IP before the end of July. From 1 August 2026 your participation will be binding and cancellation is only possible via the GGNB or GAUSS Office with a) sick certificate, or b) statement by supervisor for scientific reasons. If you do not provide this, you will be excluded from courses for the next 12 months(!), as well as grants or scholarships and other financial support. No exceptions.

For a full list of courses scheduled for the summer semester 2026 please go to HISinOne EXA – the data are subject to changes and therefore preliminary!

A detailed description on how to register for a course via Stud.IP can be found here: Courses_Instructions

Note: By signing up you agree (1) to carefully check whether you will be able to attend the course (do not register for 2 courses taking place on the same dates – the above mentioned sanctions apply!); (2) to frequently check your student e-mail account, as all information on courses will exclusively be sent to that account; (3) that your name and e-mail address may be forwarded to the course instructor(s) for communication before and after the course; (4) to complete the course evaluation; (5) inform us if you no longer wish to maintain a waiting list position; (6) that you only receive credits for attending the entire workshop – you will not get partial credits for part-time attendance.

Important: Active participation in online (skills & methods) courses is prerequisite to collect the respective credits. Active participation with the camera running is set as a prerequisite for course participation.

Confirmations of participation are to be obtained from Stud.IP.
