You can view your study progress in the Examination Regulations or in the Campus System. Select your academic year WS 2023/2024 and then select your degree programme (e.g. "Bachelor's degree programmes - Applied Chemistry (B.Sc.)") and your semester (e.g. "1st semester") under Course catalogue. You will receive a list overview of all modules and submodules of the semester. More information on the exact course dates, rooms and learning objectives can be obtained by clicking on the respective module names in the list view. With the button "View" this can also be displayed as a weekly schedule. For larger courses, you will find several exercise groups in the list. The allocation to the groups is done automatically by the faculty.

Your first practical trainings
The planning for your first practical trainings and exercises is already underway.
Since we have to ensure that our lab spaces are optimally utilised, you have been or will be contacted by Ms Gellissen. Of course, we want to make sure that your start into your studies goes smoothly. The announcement of which of the practical training and exercise groups you have been assigned to will probably be published on ILIAS on 29.09.2023.
From the 2nd semester onwards, you must then actively register for the practical trainings. Information on the requirements and how the registration process works can be found on the page
"Registration for practical trainings".
