Advanced Courses 2007/08

Specific courses which are held in the framework of a master program are also qualified for PhD students. Such courses can be announced on this page using the usual form and are thereby open for all PhD students participating in the Doctoral Program. In order to minimize travelling, it is recommended to organize such courses in a bi-weekly rhythm or as block courses.
