seminar Proseminar Theoretical Physics (Physics Master / High-Energy Physics Master)
Permission from lecturers required for all students. First meeting will be communicated During this meeting, the list of student participants will be finalised, topics and tutors will be assigned. Since Proseminar presentations during the course of the semester are often thematically linked, we suggest that all deregistrations from the module be done by the first three weeks of the semester. No shows after this will result in a no show grade.
