Introduction

Please read these instructions to find out how to search for the courses that are relevant to your studies.

How to

First, you need to narrow down your search criteria. The results page will offer further options.

Step 1: Search

The following contains information about how to use the search function, which comes in two versions: a standard search function that lets you enter a number of keywords and terms and an advanced search function with additional options for narrowing down search results.

You can also enter the time on wich the courses you would like to see should take place. Use the Time from and Time to fields to enter the exact start and end time, for example Time from 8:15 and Time to 9:45.
