Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy Course Overview GbR Winter Term 2014/2015 malig wei © z mon pickstone | Universität Bonn | si weg, Fotos: Frank Luer Time frame for the coordinated studies programme at Bonn (B) and Cologne (C). The marked areas indicate scheduling of the most attractive courses for students from the partner institution. Fridays are reserved for early integration into research groups. BCGS Course Overview Winter Term 2014/2015 This list of courses provides an overview of lectures and seminars offered within the Master course programmes in Bonn and Cologne. Certain courses are assigned as “Special BCGS Courses” such as joined courses given by lecturers from both universities, courses broadcasted to the other university by video conference, courses given as teaching exchange between both universities, or (lab) courses facilitating an early access into research. Courses of special relevance for students of the partner university have been scheduled within the BCGS time frame enabling students to travel to the partner university (see adjacent figure). Further, you will find courses classified according to the three main research areas covered by the Graduate School: Particle and Nuclear Physics - Astronomy and Astrophysics - Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics, Photonics. You may choose your personal curriculum with respect to your scientific interests within the terms of the corresponding Master programmes in Bonn and Cologne. In case you need any support do not hesitate to ask your mentors or the administration.
