Course Structure

At the GESIS Summer School, we offer onsite and online courses, as well hybrid courses where onsite or online participation is possible. Onsite courses take place at GESIS Cologne; online courses are taught as live teaching events via Zoom. We do not provide recordings or other extensive video material of the course contents.

Our short courses are either two-day or three-day courses with a total class time of 12 hours. Once course descriptions are available on our website, please read them carefully for more information.

Some of the Summer School's one-week courses are taught onsite at GESIS Cologne, some are organized as live online courses via Zoom, while others are hybrid and can be attended either onsite or online. 24 or 30 hours of total class time will be distributed over five days depending on the course. All one-week courses start on a Monday. Each day contains 5-6 hours of classes of which around 2-3 hours are tutorials or labs or exercises. Once course descriptions are available on our website, please read them carefully for more 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 courses that take place on the same day or in the same week. For exact course times read the course descriptions on our website as soon as they are available.
