Courses
If you wish to visit courses of the study programs in Health Sciences at the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine, you have to register via the e-learning platform moodle. The registration period for longitudinal courses starts two weeks before the beginning of each semester and is open for one week in the study program BSc Health Sciences and one week after the start of the course for the MSc Health Sciences course. For block courses a registration is possible during the actual course days. Students who have registered for the courses will have access to course materials and course information from the lecturers. Please make sure that you are enrolled in the "News & Announcements" course in Moodle. You will also receive information from us via News & Announcements directly to your @stud.unilu.ch e-mail address.
PodcastsFrom Fall 2024 on podcasts will be made available in selected courses*. The Podcasts are intended to help you better understand the material. The recordings only serve as a supplement and do not replace on site participation. Technical problems may occur. The risk of missing the recording of a lecture lies with the students who do not attend the lecture in person. It is also possible that not all sessions will be recorded. You can find more information about the digital teaching offer here. The podcasts will be available on Kaltura. A single registration on Kaltura is required so that we can activate you for the podcasts. You will then receive authorization from the IT. The podcasts of the first two weeks of the semester will only be available from around the third week of the semester. *Selected courses:
