Welcome to our 2023-2024 course guide!
You can look into our offer of courses and workshops in the academic year 2023-2024 in the following ways:
- On the left you find a list of all our courses in alphabetical order.
- Below you can find the courses already somewhat categorised based on what they are primarily about.
- For planning purposes, we have added a course calendar. This calendar provides a quick overview of our courses and the weeks they take place in. For exact dates please visit the course pages.
Please note that, on the course pages, you will be able to fill out a notification form if a course is already full or if you missed an enrolment deadline. We will then notify you if you can take the place of someone who cancelled his or her attendance or when the course will be offered again another time.
