Summer School - Course Structure

At the GESIS Summer School, we offer onsite and online courses, as well as hybrid courses where participants can choose either onsite or online attendance. Onsite courses take place at GESIS Cologne, while online courses are taught as live teaching events via Zoom. Please note that we do not provide recordings or other extensive video material of the course contents.

Our short courses span either two or three days with a total class time of 12 hours. One-week courses have 30 hours of total class time. All one-week courses start on a Monday. Each day contains 5-6 hours of instruction with 2-3 hours dedicated to tutorials, labs, or exercises. Detailed course descriptions will be available on our website—please review them carefully for specific information.

All courses are full-day events. Classes start no earlier than 09:00 and no later than 11:00 CEST. Classes end no earlier than 15:00 and no later than 18:00 CEST. This means that you cannot register for two or more courses that take place on the same day or in the same week.  Exact timings for each course will be included in the course descriptions on our website.
