If you want to make the test, please inform the lecturer ahead of the test that you are an exchange student, as special regulations may apply for visiting students.

If you pass the test you earn 3 credit points (CP). Please ask the lecturer to issue a certificate of the passed test.

In seminars (2 CP) students prepare and give an oral presentation to a specific topic. The topic for which you will have to give a talk you arrange with the instructor of the seminar. For the oral presentation you earn 2 credit points (CP).

Practical lab-courses can be visited the whole year and are usually offered for three weeks or longer.
