Advanced seminar

Aim of the module

In the advanced seminar, students acquire basic knowledge of scientific work and the confident handling of scientific literature. The content is taught both theoretically and applied practically.

Procedure

The module consists of two parts:

1. Lecture: In the first phase, central methods of scientific work, presentation and research are introduced.
2. Application phase: All students are then given a scientific journal article which they work on independently. The results are summarized in a scientific poster and presented at a central event.

The module is taught in German in the winter semester. It is taught in English in the summer semester.

Module completion

Assessment is based on the poster and the presentation. In addition, students must attend at least five scientific presentations by other students (e.g. final theses).

• A routing slip is kept to document these visits, on which each lecture is noted. After attending a lecture, the routing slip is signed and stamped by a representative of the chair.
• An overview of the current final lectures can be found on the department's homepage.

• Students enrolled in the ETIT (2023) and SES (2023) programmes who have completed an advanced seminar in accordance with the regulations for ETIT (old PO) prior to the 2025/26 winter semester will be credited for this achievement.
• Students enrolled in the ETIT (2023), SES (2023) and A&R (2025) programmes who have successfully completed an advanced seminar in the 2025/2026 winter semester in accordance with the regulations for ETIT (old PO) will also attend the lecture in accordance with the new PO. It is not necessary to create and present a poster or to participate in the lectures.
• From the 2026 summer semester onwards, only attendance at the course intended for the respective degree programme will be credited.
