​Requests for the Opening of Courses

Applications for the retroactive opening of courses in the summer semester 2024

You can hand in your request for retroactive opening of courses for additional modules from April 8 - April 21 2024 via Email. Please use this form.

Retroactive opening of courses for further modules

The regular assignment to modules of all courses offered at the faculty is done in the course of curriculum planning. However, at the beginning of each semester, students have the possibility to request that courses offered at the faculty are opened for additional modules.

Please note that requests for the opening of courses are only possible for courses offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences. 


Please note the special rules for MA Political Theory students (at the end of this page).


Application and procedure

Applications for the retroactive opening of courses for further modules pass through a multi-stage procedure:

  1. Students complete the form for the semester in question (see below), which is made available for download in good time before the start of the semester, stating their reasons in relation to course content for requesting that the course be opened. 
  2. Students present this form to the lecturer of the course concerned, on which he/she notes his/her decision regarding content. Alternatively, the lecturer can notify the students of his/her consent by email.
  3. Students submit the form to the respective programme directors, who make the final decision on the basis of the course content. The programme directors' current contact details are listed on p. 2 of the form.
  4. The programme directors' offices forward the form to the Dean of Studies Office, which publishes the results on the website after the deadline and adds the confirmed opening of a course or courses in the QIS/LSF portal.


When submitting your application, please check whether the course type of the course to be opened meets the requirements of the desired module. 

Special rules for M.A. Political Theory students

MA Political Theory students can apply for the opening of courses offered by other faculties and/or have these recognised:  

  1. The retroactive opening of courses offered by the Faculty of Philosophy and History of Goethe University Frankfurt can be requested using the Form for the Retroactive Opening of Courses
  2. Courses which are not offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences or the Faculty of Philosophy and History (at Goethe University Frankfurt) or the Department of History and Social Sciences at TU Darmstadt can be recognised individually. For this, an application for recognition must be submitted to the Examination Committee. Please note that this procedure only provides for recognition for the individual applicant. You can find the application in the downloadcenter of MA Political Theory..
