Tutorials are led by higher-semester students.
Tutorials are courses offered in tandem with a specific seminar or practice session and taught by higher-semester students in coordination with the unversity teacher. Tutorials are primarily offered in tandem with introductory seminars that usually comprise a wide variety of introductory theoretical texts on an extensive historical topic.
Providing more time for in-depth reading and discussion, tutorials aim to deepen the students’ engagement with the content of the seminar or practice session.
Moreover, tutorials are also offered to provide methodological and practical aid. For example, there are tutorials that help students write papers (finding a topic, asking the right questions, structuring one’s paper, conducting research, creating bibliographies and citations, etc.) or provide tips for preparing and giving talks and presentations.

Colloquia
Colloquia offer a forum to share information about the progress of more extensive research projects.
Colloquia offer a forum to share information about the progress of more extensive research projects.
Colloquia are events where students, doctoral students or researchers meet regularly to talk about and discuss the progress of their bachelor’s and master’s theses, dissertations or other research projects. All participants mutually support each other by reading their fellow researchers’ texts, ask questions, and contribute their perspectives. Research findings are presented in short presentations and discussed in the group.
This approach motivates participants to organize their work in the context of larger research projects and creates an opportunity to benefit from both a professional and a social network in the solitary and often lonely daily research routine.
