For MSc students
eClass: course enrolment and announcements
Enrolment by course coordinators. Course coordinators enrol students in each course’s eClass space after MSc enrolment closes and before classes begin. Enrolment in the MSc through the Secretariat and access to course spaces are separate steps.
Course announcements. Announcements for each course are published in that course’s eClass space. Check its “Announcements” section regularly.
Access requires your DUTH institutional account and enrolment in the course space. If you cannot access a course when classes begin, contact its coordinator in writing.
The MSc website remains the source for general programme announcements and administrative information.
