Footnotes:
- Biennial courses, given in the academic year 2016-2017
- Biennial courses, next given in the academic year 2017-2018
- The number of ec points to be assigned to the CERN Summer Student Programme depends on the length of the programme, being given by 6 ec + (number of weeks minus 6)/2 ec rounded down to an integer. The full extent of the programme corresponds to 9 ec. Please contact Prof. dr S.J. de Jong or Prof. dr N. de Groot for more information.
- 1 ec for each 3-day event, 3 times per year
