Dear students in the first semester of the M.Sc. Data Science programme,

The details of course organisation can be found on Stud.IP and will be given by the respective lecturer shortly before or at the start of the semester. So please refrain from sending individual e-mails to lecturers beforehand.

To receive this information and to be up to date, it is crucial that you register for your courses in the PORTA system first, which in turn leads to an automatic registration in Stud.IP. Technical details on this are available on the general website of Trier University.

To use PORTA and Stud.IP, you need valid Trier University credentials (s4xxxxxx@uni-trier.de) which you will receive after proper enrollment at the university. You can either enroll in person in Trier or (if your visa process is delayed, etc.) online. Please refer to this website for more information regarding this process and contact admissionuni-trierde if you have further administrative questions after consulting the website.

We wish you a good start at Trier University!

Stay safe and healthy!
