Courses offered by the Department of Physics WS 23/24
The courses of the winter semester start from 16.10.2023:
For the implementation of the courses, information, learning materials and tools will be made available via the e-learning platform Moodle. Registration for the courses is generally possible by self-enrolment as soon as the Moodle courses are available. The Moodle courses are linked to the course catalogue, but can also be searched for directly in Moodle.
