Here, you are expected to conduct independent academic work. A Proseminar usually provides you with an introduction into a specific field of study. Here, they intensify their basic knowledge gained during the Grundstudium and research specific issues. A preparatory seminar for examination candidates, an Oberseminar is offered by many professors to those students who are about to take their exams. Here, students also have the opportunity to discuss their final dissertations with their professors.
Many seminars only accept a limited number of participants.
Please consult the annotated course catalogue for information on registration. Here, small groups of students conduct independent research projects in laboratories and are guided by a tutor. At the end of each day there is usually a short oral exam about what the students have learned. Tutorials are either offered as introductory courses or to intensify the topics of lectures. Here, students are given the opportunity to rework in small groups what they have learned in the lecture.
