Teaching - Physics Department WS 21/22
The lectures for the summer semester will start on 18.10.2021 and will be offered mostly on campus.
Courses
The courses will be organized via the E-Learning Platform Moodle where the information, learning materials and teaching tools will be available. Registration for the courses is in general possible during the first week of lectures via self-enrolment. The Moodle courses are linked to the course catalogue (campus online website) and the courses overview available in the button below, but can also be searched directly in Moodle.
Courses Overview of the Physics Department
External lecturers usually use the resources available at their own institution. In these cases, registration is done by e-mail.
