Bemerkung	Information on the organisation of excursions will be announced by the lecturers at the beginning of the semester. Please note: For excursions abroad, generally only the overnight stay will be organized and financed by the degree programme. Travel costs must be covered by the students themselves. If the overnight costs are much higher than the travel costs, students must contribute to the costs for the overnight stay. In the event of non-participation (no show) or cancellation, the student will be invoiced for the costs incurred for the study programme. We recommend that students take out private cancellation insurance for excursions so that any costs (due to illness) are covered by the insurance.
