Course catalogue
In the LSF course catalogue:
• If a course is mentioned in two or more topics: The course can be used in different modules, but only once.For example: the lecture Virology is part of genetics, cell biology and microbiology.
• If there is no mention of ECTS credits in the short comments:Lecture and seminar with 2 SWS: you will receive 3 ECTS credits.Lecture with 4 SWS: you will receive 6 ECTS credits.Practical course with 3 SWS: you will receive 3 ECTS credits.Practical course with 6 SWS: you will receive 6 ECTS credits.Practical course with 12 SWS: you will receive 12 ECTS credits.
• Excursions are regarded as practical courses.

General pointers:
• You do not have to apply via the LSF for the mandatory courses “Lab methods” and “Computational biology” (as a first semester MCB & PLS master’s student, you are already registered for these courses).
• Please only apply for practical courses and seminars that will take place after November 29, 2019 (you will attend the mandatory courses “Lab methods” and “Computational biology” until then).
• You can attend lectures without previous registration (in other words, you can just attend lectures).

Practical course application
(by students)
Distribution of spots(by study
coordinators)
Study coordinators distribute spots for practical courses based on the following criteria:- Priority (chosen by the student);- Seniority (which semester);- How many spots have already been assigned to a student;- Students with a lower number of assigned courses will be prioritized.- If less spots are offered than there are applicants, a draw will take place.
