For each student, a personal course plan must be developed by the doctoral student together with the thesis committee, and should be designed to meet the personal interests of the student. Students are not required to repeat coursework that they have successfully completed elsewhere.
In general, a minimum of 4 hours per week per semester for the first two years (or 16 units in total) in coursework in form of lectures, block courses, journal clubs, workshops, etc. is required.
In addition to the courses listed in heiCO, graduate students are encouraged to attend a colloquium in their research field, as well as the general physics colloquium.
Graduate students may also actively participate in the planning of courses (see "Graduate Days") and inviting speakers to the school.
At the end of each semester, you should record your courses taken and submit the form to the Central Office of the HGSFP.
