Important Information on the Course Registration in DocGS

Our courses open for registration gradually during the semester. This means that it is possible to register 8 weeks prior to a course start via DocGS.

The number of courses you can book in one semester is limited to 4 courses (including bookings on the waiting list). Once you have reached your limit, any additional courses will be marked as "not bookable".

Should you be unable to attend a course, it is possible to cancel your registration free of charge up to four weeks prior to the course start. We kindly ask you to honor this deadline as your fellow doctoral candidates may be on the waiting list hoping for an opening.
