MIEPP News

Dear MIEPP Students,

I need you to take a short break from studying and take a look at next semesters’ seminars. The list of seminars, including detailed descriptions, is attached to this email.

For those of you not familiar with the process of choosing a seminar (others can skip to the timeline below), the registration for seminars is not done via Jogustine but by email (you also do not have to do anything in Jogustine after sending the email).

To register for a seminar, please write an email to me (MIEPP AT uni-mainz.de) including your name, matriculation number, specialization and a ranking of all of the available seminars, including the instructors name, according to your preferences (highest preference 1, lowest preference 9). I will then place you into the seminars while keeping your preferences and specializations in mind as much as possible. If, due to your specialization, you have to take a seminar in a certain area (i.e. you are in international economics student and already have taken a public policy seminar), please also mention that in your email. In the same way, if you want to take two seminars, please include this information as well.

Now, some useful pointers:   

• If you only rank one or two seminars, I will simply assume that all the other seminars are of equal utility to you below the ranked ones. Choice 3 is still high on the list so you might be placed anywhere. It will in no way guarantee that you receive one of the seminars listed. 
• If you want to write your master thesis at a chair, you can mention it in the email to me, but it will also not guarantee you a spot in the seminar. 
• This is not a first come, first serve procedure, I will look at all the preferences at the end of the time period and try to get everyone situated as well as possible.
• Simply because you have a certain specialization, does not mean that you have to take both seminars in this area. In fact, it is very likely that one of the two seminars is not in your specialization area.   

Registration will start today, February 26 and end Wednesday, March 17. This should give all of you enough time to tell me your preferences.

Good luck for your remaining exams and hopefully a very nice semester break with lots of nice weather and maybe a bit less Covid after you are finished with your exams.

Sincerely,

Christoph Wirp
