Course overview | academic year 2023/2024
All courses mentioned below are offered by the GSLS. The courses are arranged chronological by start date per programme.
Most programmes have their own set of courses. Some of these courses are also available to students of other programmes (indicated in the column OP*). Details on how a programme structures its courses and which courses are mandatory to take can be found on the programme-specific pages. Please avoid overlap in content with your programme-specific courses when choosing courses outside your own programme.
We also offer general elective courses, which can be found in the last table at the bottom of this page. The page on elective courses tells you more about how to follow courses as part of your elective component.
