COURSES AND TIMETABLES
Where to find once courses?
All courses offered by the Department of Communication and Media Studies can be found online:http://www.kmw.uni-leipzig.de/studium/lehrangebot/
There are no obligatory courses. You are free to choose your courses on your own. The modules/courses, which are open for ERASMUS incomings you find 
here.
Please consider the specifications of your Home University: How many courses do you have to attend? How many credits do you need? Do you need grades?
Do I have to enrol for courses?
There is no obligation to enrole for Exchange students. But you should definitely write an email to the lecturer in order to introduce yourself. The email should include:
- name, home country, home institution
- program of study, year of study
- What did you study already?
Go to the first session and introduce yourself.
First of all you choose a course from the course catalogue that you would like to attend. You don´t have to study entire modules. The modules/courses, which are open for ERASMUS incomings you find here.
You can choose…
… lectures from the Bachelor program. In that case you will have to pass a written exam at the end of the course.
… a seminar from the Bachelor program. Then you will have to write a term paper (thesis) or have to prepare a spoken presentation (referat). For both you will get a “Schein” with your credit points.
… a course from the Master Program (seminar). Then you have to arrange with your lecturer what kind of exam you have to pass, in order to get credit points.
… a course from the so called “old study program” (Magister, Diploma). Then you have to make individual arrangements with your lecturer as well.
Please note: It is always better to make clear individual arrangements with the lecturer regarding modalities of assessments (e.g. where and when to get the “Scheine”).
May I attend in other courses that are offered by other Departments?
Generally you should talk to the lecturer. You may choose courses offered by other faculties and departments – but you need to get the permission of the lecturers. If you want to attend courses that are offered by other faculties or departments, just write an email to the respective lecturer and introduce yourself to him/her at the first session.
Are there courses taught in English?
At the Department of Communication and Media studies the general teaching language is German. There are no courses/lectures taught in English language. Therefore you need to have good language skills in German.
