Master seminars

To ensure that every student can participate in at least one seminar each semester, the sign-up for most of our seminars is centralized. Seminar slots will be allocated according to preferences and contested slots will be allocated in a lottery. Students can still register for the winter semester 2025/26 until October 15 via the following link. The process of allocating topics is organized by each lecturer individually (after assignment of slots). In case of any questions about the process, please contact counseling-devecon@uni-goettingen.de. The announcement of future seminar allocations will be shared with the students via the economics newsletter.
