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

Courses starting with a "B-" are part of the Bachelor's degree, whilst courses starting with "M-" are part of the Master's degree. You may attend all of these courses, but this helps to estimate the level of difficulty, and you will need the lecturer's permission if you attend a course outside your own degree.
