• View Courses Offered by an Organisation
• Limiting Search Results by Using Filters and Search Terms
• Show Courses for Your Curriculum
• How to Use the List View
• Contents of the Course Details View

To find the courses offered by a specific organisation, proceed as follows:

1. Select the desired term in the drop down menu Term. Open the menu Organisation. A filter box opens above the selection menu that appears. If you want to look for the courses offered by the Faculty of Medicine, enter the search term Medicine (“Medizin”). The results in the selection menu now only show organisations that contain the search term Medicine ("Medizin").

Please note: The filter generates results dynamically: The more letters of your search term you enter, the more results are excluded from the results.

2. Tap on the entry Faculty of Medicine (“Medizinische Fakultät”). The list of courses updates. It now only contains all courses offered by the Faculty of Medicine and all sub-organisations.

3. If you are looking for the courses offered by a specific sub-organisation of the Faculty of Medicine, e.g. the Pediatrics Department (“Kinder- und Jugendmedizin”), adjust your search terms accordingly. Possible search terms would be Medicine (“Medizin”), which would yield more search results, or Kinder (“Children”), which would yield a more concise list of results.

Please note: If your English search term does not provide the results you are looking for, try an equivalent German search term. Not all English search terms will yield results.

4. Tap on the desired sub-organisation. The list of courses offered updates. It will now only show the courses offered by the chosen sub- organisation.

If the (sub-)organisation you have chosen offers a great number of courses, you can limit your search results by using additional filters and search terms.

By entering a search term into the search box Filter by Course Number, Course Title or Person you may look for courses offered by a specific person or for courses that have a specific search term in their title, or you may look for a course with a specific course number.

1. Enter e.g. the search term Thomas into the search box.

2. Tap on the Blue Arrow Button next to the search box.

3. The list of results updates and now shows all courses by lecturers with the first or last name Thomas or courses whose titles contain the word Thomas.

You may use additional filters to adapt your search to your criteria.

1. Tap on the Filter button.

2. The filter menu opens. You may now choose different criteria in additional sub-menus:

• Content/Objective
• Language of Instruction
• Type (e.g. lecture, seminar or practical exercise)
• Category (this filter is not relevant for students)
• Registration Period
• City/District
• Date from/to
• Weekday
• Time from/to

3. Choose the relevant search parameters and tap on Apply at the bottom of the filter menu.

4. The list of results updates according to your search criteria.

5. Tap on the Remove all Filters button in the “Filter” menu to cancel all filters you may have set. If you want to remove only some of your filters, tap on the desired filters that are listed below the Filter Button once you have applied them.

You may also select and show only those courses that are allocated to your personal curriculum or to curricula of other degree programmes.

1. Open the filter menu Curriculum by tapping on the current selection (normally All).

2. The menu that opens is divided into two sections: Curricula of My Degree Programmes and Further Curricula. Choose the desired curriculum, e.g. German [20142], Lehramt an Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen (M.Ed.) („Deutsch [20142], Lehramt an Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen (M.Ed.)“) from the Curricula of My Degree Programmes section.

3. The list of results updates and now only shows courses offered in this curriculum of your degree programme.

4. If you want to see the courses offered in a degree programme other than your own, choose the desired degree programme in the section Further Curricula and proceed as described above.

The list view in the Courses application already offers you a large amount of summarised information about a course. You can also access further detailed information via the individual entries.

The individual entries in the list view are divided into three sections with different information and functions, labeled "1", "2" and "3" in the following example.

Section 1 contains the basic information about a course:

• Course number
• Title
• Star icon ( ,  ) for (de-)activating course bookmarks
• Type of course (e.g. AS = Advanced Seminar (“Hauptseminar”)
• Duration
• Lecturer

Section 2 contains registration information:

• Status of registration (e.g. Course Open for Registration, Registration Expired, Course Registration to be Opened or Place Request Entered, Waiting List or Assigned Confirmed Place, if you already applied for a place in a course)
• Notes on possible eligibility criteria or additional information for registration
• Button Go to Course Registration if course registration is currently open or button View Course Registration Details if course registration has expired.

Please note: It is possible to register for a course through this list view, if a course is allocated to your degree programme. However, we expressly recommend registering via the My Degree Programme application. In contrast to the list view here, you will be guided through the module structure of your curriculum. This makes it easier to select courses according to the module requirements of your degree programme. Please refer to the chapter "Applying for Courses" for instructions.

Section 3 comprises a button that, if clicked, will open the detailed view of the selected course.

Please note: You can also access the detailed view by clicking on the title of a course in the list view.

The detailed view of the course opens. By tapping the More Options Button in the top right area of the detailed view, you will reach the Navigation Menu, that will guide you directly to the individual sections of the detailed view. By tapping Back you will return to the list view.

In a tabular view, the course descriptions offer detailed information for each selected course: you can view all descriptive attributes of a course as well as the Status within the Curriculum.

The contents of the different sections of the course details view will be explained in the following:

Please note: In the rarest of cases all offered options will be filled out, as some are of lesser importance to the individual departments of the University of Cologne. Likewise, not all filled out options are relevant to students at the University of Cologne.

Tap on the Back button in the navigation menu at the top to return to the list view.
