International Students and Scholars
Dear international students, a warm welcome to the Department of Political Science at Jena University!
For your orientation in terms of class selection, a few general remarks beforehand:
- At our department, class topics change from semester to semester. Please inform yourself about the classes offered in the semester you intend to come to our University.
- We have now decided to offer at least six clases per semester in English (worth 30 ECTS) where German and international students join in an international classroom. Below please find a list of the English-language classes offered in the last years.
- International students are admitted to B.A. and M.A. level classes irrespective of their own current status (some classes are anyway designed for both grades). The paper requirements will be adjusted accordingly to suit your skills. Assignments can be done in english language.
- You can participate in every lecture at will but please sign in for the seminars (due to limited space).
- The seminar leaders are advised to admit foreign students even if classes are nominally full. If you have any questions, just contact the teacher per mail or in office hours.
- Of course, you are very much invited also to attend German-language classes, given sufficient language proficiency. Exams and papers can be written in English in many Geman-language classes, provided this is arranged with the seminar leader beforehand.
- Feel free to contact the deparment’s ERASMUS-coordinator if you have any questions.
