Learning Agreement

To find the courses for the learning agreement, exchange students have to consider different sources:

• The full course catalog contains all courses of all departments of the Philipps-University. If the individual prerequisites of a specific course are met, exchange students may take courses from any department. Note that the enrollment processes may differ between departments and grades obtained in other departments need to be communicated explicitly by the exchange student to the foreign representative of department 12, if these grades should find their way into the final transcript of records!
• The course catalog of the department 12 (Mathematics and Computer Science) lists all courses and their general descriptions. If additional information is needed about a course (language, topics, schedule, online/offline, correspondence in marvin …), we highly recommend to contact the teachers directly. The teachers are indicated as “Modulverantwortliche(r)” and their contact details can be found on our staff list. Because not all courses are taught in every semester, please also check the availability of your course in our marvin system.
• The English course preview page (Mathematics and Computer Science) lists the planned, English-taught courses for upcoming semesters. The current course offerings page also lists the concrete (math and computer science) courses that are planned (and taught in English) for the upcoming semesters. Because neither the course catalogs nor the marvin system indicate the course languages, we highly recommend to check these additional sources as well. Master courses are, by default, taught in English and Bachelor courses are taught in German, but some lectures and in particular seminars and projects can sometimes be switched to English on demand. We therefore recommend to contact the lecturers directly and ask if they can give their courses in English.
