Organizing Your Study

©Julian Meyer
 
In order to have a comfortable yet productive study period during the exchange, each exchange student is advised to take a look at our School's course offerings and prepare an according personal study plan. During the group and personal meetings prior to the semester start, we will discuss the study plan in further detail.
 
  • Course Selection

    Excel-table winter semester (available courses; course features for winter-semester 2024/25)

    Excel-table summer semester (available courses; course features for summer-semester 2025)

    Please note: Errors may occur and only the official information by the Chair, the Online Course Catalogue and  Exam Office are binding. If you notice any unclarities, please do not hesitate to contact us. Course Descriptions (course contents for credit transfer). All SBE courses, Bachelor-and Master-level, with detailed course descriptions to all programs in Business Administration, Economics and Information Systems. Online Course Catalog (up-to-date schedules with time and place/location). The Online Course Catalogue - or in German "Vorlesungverzeichnis" - is the university website that lists all offered courses as well as the official and up-to-date schedules. For regular students, the online catalogue lists all necessary courses according to standard study plans. For exchange students, however, the website is primarily important for showing up-to-date schedules (times & location). In the Excel-table above, you can find the link to the information on this catalog for each course. Or can search by yourself, switch to English by clicking on the English flag at the right top of the screen and then "search for lectures" on the left menu. Chairs' websites (specific information, registration for seminars)

                 Economics
                 Information Systems
                 Interdisciplinary Economics

    Select Overlapping courses? Regardless of mandatory attendance or not, our experience has shown that actual attendance and the passing of a course do have a positive correlation, meaning that students attending a class have a higher probability to pass. On these grounds, it is advised to not choose overlapping courses.

    Language Courses at Language Center and SBE
    The vast majority of language courses is organized by our university's language center. Additionally, SBE offers language courses.  However, those are partly held in German and therefore require a German level of B2 according to CEFR.

    Other courses at university
    The University of Münser offers a wide range of subjects, from archaelogy to zoology. If you are interested in taking such courses, please contact the respective exchange coordinator of your faculty of choice. All administrative matters of registration, exams and transcripts then follows the rules of the respective faculty. This means, that after completing a UM-cours, you will need to ask for a certificate that states your grade.
