Course selection

After your online registration at the University of Göttingen, you should prepare your study plan. In the Guide for exchange students of biology (pdf) several instructions can be found on courses and the option of taking a laboratory project. After you set up your study plan and timetable, please share it with us via erasbio@biologie.uni-goettingen.de to avoid misconceptions. We would like to ask you to always indicate the module numbers (e.g. B.Bio.xxx) and the name of the module you are interested in. We will inform you whether your plan is suitable, or will give you other suggestions.


  • You can only participate in the courses that are available for exchange students. You can choose these courses as a Bachelor’s or Master’s student, provided you meet the course-specific entry requirements (where applicable). However, as a Bachelor’s student, please be aware that Master’s modules require prior knowledge of the subject and are therefore at a higher level. Participation in master’s-level courses is therefore only recommended for students in their third year or above.

  • Please use our University Course Catalouge (EXA) to explore the modules available for your specific semester. It's essential to ensure that your schedule remains conflict-free and withour overlaps. Within EXA, you can conveniently access detailed information such as the day, time, and location of your chosen module classes, as well as examination dates.
