The taster programme is part of the regular teaching programme. It is therefore perfectly normal if you are only able to follow the content to a limited extent.

The following types are available:

lecture

A course in the form of a lecture that provides an overview of a specific subject area. Lectures are often delivered to large groups of students (up to several hundred).

Seminar

In a seminar, a specific topic is explored in a small group under the guidance of a lecturer. The seminar is characterised by the students’ active participation in the content through discussions or, for example, presentations on specific issues (guests are, of course, under no obligation to do this!).

Tutorial

A teaching session, usually in a smaller group, designed to consolidate the material covered in a lecture or, in some subjects, to work through practice exercises.

tutorial

In a tutorial, students, together with a tutor – usually a student in a higher semester – revise and consolidate the material covered in a course (lecture, seminar or practical).
