Vorlesungen im Sommersemester 2025

Die Vorlesungen finden in diesem Sommersemester als Präsenzveranstaltungen statt. Die Einladungen zu den Vorlesungs- und Übungsterminen erfolgen nach Selbstregistrierung für die jeweilige Veranstaltung in der Moodle-Plattform.

Die vorlesungsbegleitenden Dokumente (Lehrpläne, Skripte, Handouts, Lernfragen) werden in englischer Sprache auf der moodle-Plattform zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Zugang zu den vorlesungsbegleitenden Unterlagen erfolgt nach Selbstregistrierung für die beiden Vorlesungen auf der moodle-Plattform.
