Please have a look at the current course offerings of our chair. There you will also find the corresponding links for registration via PULS.

Please note that a registration for a course does not represent a registration for an attainment at the same time. This is done separately via PULS.

If registration via PULS is not possible for technical reasons (e.g. because you do not yet have access data), please contact the relevant lecturer by e-mail.

If you have not registered within the scheduled deadlines, you may register for the next offered date. Participation in the service for which you have missed the registration deadline is not possible.

If you wish to withdraw from a course or service, you may do so within the registration and withdrawal deadlines or up to eight days before the module examination that is not part of the course.

If you have effectively withdrawn from an examination/examination registration, you are deemed not to have registered for the examination.

Due to the Corona pandemic, there are currently no personal consultation hours with the chair's staff. The team of chair can be reached by e-mail. 

Please also note that Prof. Dr. Fleischer is on sabbatical this winter semester (2022/23) and therefore will not hold office hours. If you have any questions, please contact the assistant to the chair, Ms. Eichler: sabine.eichler@uni-potsdam.de

Please send a medical certificate within 7 calendar days. Check with your examination office/study office for further details.

Furthermore, you should inform the responsible teacher about your inability to take the examination.

For all questions regarding a thesis, please see the page Guide to Writing a Thesis.
