X-Student Research Groups are research teams consisting of junior scientists and students. Doctoral students or postdocs bring their own research into the classroom during the research seminars. All students of the four partners of the Berlin University Alliance can participate.

Students receive credit points for their participation. The X-Student Research Groups are mostly offered as one-semester projects; for some projects, two-semester participation is also possible. Students can only take one X-Student Research Group per semester and earn credit points here. The number of participants is limited to 15 per project.
