Overview

This pages contains specific information for the students who started with the IMAPP programme in September 2021.

Courses

Details about all courses can be found in the course handbook.

The first semester starts with an orientation week in Clermont-Ferrand. Click here for more details.

Lectures commence the 6th of September until the end of January.

Lectures will be held in presence without any limitation at the beginning.  As soon as the pandemic situation changes evaluation level, mitigation procedures are in place to turn to hybrid or distance lecturing whenever required.
 
Though it is highly recommended that the students attend the lectures in their presence, a lightweight distance broadcasting/recording of the lessons will be available initially for the students who did not come yet to Clermont. Please inform us at info@imapp.eu if you are in such a situation.
 

Click here for the Course Timetable. The operational timetable (including lecture rooms) is provided in a Moodle and made available to students as soon a they are registered. It contains as well detector physics and instrumental projects that the IMAPP students are not expected to follow.
