Master Seminar “International Economic Policy”

Application and Registration

Students who would like to participate in the seminar write an e-mail with the subject “Seminar: International Economic Policy” to LSHefeker@uni-siegen.de. The application must include the following:

  1. Matriculation number
  2. A set of your five most preferred topics, ranked highest to lowest preference of all announced topics. Alternatively, you may also suggest a topic on your own from the field of “International Economic Policy”.
  3. A list of all successfully attended courses thus far, this can be obtained via LSF. Please send a PDF-File.

The seminar topics will be assigned in a first step according to urgency (e.g. if the seminar is the last remaining examination for obtaining the Master’s degree) and topic preference sets. If several applicants would like the same topic, the topic is assigned by lot. Each topic will be assigned to at most one applicant. The maximum number of participants is 12. Applicants, who do not receive a topic are put on a waiting list and will succeed to seminar participation if slots become vacant. Application deadline is August 30, 2017. Applications may be sent via e-mail from now on. Applicants will be notified whether or not their application was successful by September 15, 2017 and in case of success will also receive their assigned topic on that date.
Successful applicants may then register for the seminar in LSF until September 29, 2017. De-registration is also possible until that date. Only registration in LSF guarantees the seminar slot, failure to do so until September 29, 2017 will void the successful application and the slot including the assigned topic will go to applicants on the waiting list, if applicable. Registering for the seminar without an assigned topic will result in failure and the loss of one of the three tries to successfully pass a seminar; do not register for the seminar if you have not been assigned a topic!
