Can I attain the disciplinary certificate of attendance and certificate of completion in the same seminar?
No, it is not possible to attain the certificate of attendance and the certificate of completion in the same seminar. It has to be two different events.
Do I have to enter the achievements for the certificate on special certificates?
For the interdisciplinary seminar, you must use our credit form, as this performance will not be recorded in the regular studies. For the disciplinary seminars, you can use our credit form; however, it is also possible to send us a Record of Results (downloadable from LSF), on which you note which seminars you would like to have credited. Participation in the colloquium or equivalent lecture series is evidenced by brief summaries..
Can I also have my certificate from the interdisciplinary course credited to my regular studies?
The credit you earn in the course marked as interdisciplinary is earned exclusively for the certificate and is intended as an addition to your regular studies. Therefore, it is not eligible for double credit.
I have enrolled in the Master's level Gender Studies certificate program and need to take two disciplinary courses. Are proseminars also eligible for this?
In principle, only disciplinary courses at the master's level can be credited for this order of the program. Since proseminars are intended for first-year students, they are generally not eligible for the program. You can find out whether a course is a master's level seminar by looking at the module assignments in the LSF.
Is it a problem if I do not complete the requirements for the certificate in the allotted time?
The four semesters given are to be understood as a guideline. It depends on your individual course of study whether you study the program faster or slower.

Once you have completed all the requirements for the certificate, you can submit the evidence in person to the CGC Business Office (PEG, 2.G154) or per email to the certificate program student assistant. We will then verify that everything necessary has been submitted and then issue the certificate. We will notify you by mail when the certificate is ready for pickup.
Where can I find the courses I can get credit for?
A semester program is prepared for each semester and is available in front of the CGC office. The semester program is also available as a digital edition and can be found in the download area. The latter is continuously updated by us.
Can I also attend and receive credit for courses that are not from my department?
