Procurement Process

Allocation via Preference Survey

The limited spots in the specialization modules are allocated through an allocation process administered by the Department of Sustainable Development and Change (Lilli Frank). One allocation process is offered per semester. In this process, you indicate your preferences regarding which module(s) you wish to take. The allocation process always takes place at the end of the semester or during the break between semesters via a survey. All relevant information is available via the S&C program newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed to it yet, you can do so here.

Placement via Ilias

Some lecturers allocate available spots directly through enrollment in the Ilias course. This is on a first-come, first-served basis. So be sure to check carefully when you can sign up.
