These courses are made available to you depending on faculty members' interest and availability. They are taught in English.
All hands-on sessions take place in the faculty's computer lab ("grosser PC-Raum", S18, HG, WWZ).
Pre-requisites apply only if you are working on your own computer. Otherwise, all software is already installed on the computers of the university.
If you are interested in attending a course, please register by sending an e-mail of interest to the responsible tutor no later than Sunday, September 21st, unless stated otherwise. Registration helps us determine the demand for each course.
