Please note: The course registration dates and procedures for courses taught at other departments vary.

Other courses, departments and semesters

Exchange students may attend courses of the psychology modules listed under the following two links, if they are offered in a given semester. On these pages you can also find more details on the available modules (responsible, semester, duration, common language of instruction, recommended prior knowledge and detailed descriptions of the module contents):

You might also want to have a look which other courses are offered at the university. As an international exchange student, you have the possibility to choose modules that are not part of the Psychology degrees as long as the responsible lecturer (and the international coordinator of your home university) agrees. 

Detailed instructions how to search for courses in upcoming and previous semesters can be found in Section 5.3 of the Study Guide. (The Psychology course catalogue for the upcoming summer semester will be provided online late in March and for the upcoming winter semester late in August.)
