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.

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.
