  • Language Courses @SBE and @WWU

    Language courses do not take place at the School of Business and Economics, but at the university's language center. Up-to-date information can be found on the website of the Internatioal Office as well as the  language center's own website. ERASMUS students will get the opportunity to take a German intensive course that is scheduled 2 weeks before the start of each semester.

   

  • Other courses at WWU

    The University of Münser (WWU) 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 WWU-course, you will need to ask for a certificate that states your grade. The certificate needs to be sent to Martin Schmidt via e-mail.

• Course Types Explained

  • Bachelor- and Master-level courses
    The University of Münster School of Business & Economics (SBE) offers Bachelor’s and Master’s degree courses. The Bachelor’s degree courses are concerned with imparting fundamental knowledge in the first two years of study; the third year of study provides options to specialise in the various fields of business, economics and informatics, e.g. in accounting, finance, management, marketing, business cooperations, energy management and many more. Graduate students complete a Master’s degree in one of those areas of specialisation. International exchange students can basically choose from all of the offered courses. Master students may choose from courses of both graduate and undergraduate level. Bachelor students can take all Bachelor courses and also have the possibility to choose from a limited amount of Master courses - depending on their current level of study.
  • Lectures and Tutorials
    Lectures are commonly held by a professor and are aimed at laying a profound theoretical foundation. Lectures are accompanied by Exercises / Practices / Tutorials / "Übungen". There is NO registration for either Lectures or Tutorials and attendance is NOT compulsory. However, during the semester, a registration for the exam will be necessary in order for you to participate in the exam itself. Schedules containing times and places are kept up-to-date in our digital course catalogue - in German called "Vorlesungsverzeichnis" ("VVZ"):  please click here. Courses are usually held throughout the whole semester (= regular courses). Some courses, however, are only held in either Term I or Term II of the respective semester. Exams for Term I courses will be written in the middle of the semester, whereas Term II exams will take place during the regular exam period.

  • Seminars and Business Skills
    In a seminar course, students are expected to conduct research on an academically relevant topic and hand in the results in form of a self-written paper that holds up to scientific standards. The aim is to get acquainted with academic writing and prepare for the bachelor/ master thesis. The seminar course consists of a limited number of participants as to allow interactive group works and discussions. Students are graded upon the written paper (often plus presentation) and/ or the contributions made during the seminar.

    Please note that all seminars only have a limited capacity and that an prior application/ registration  is always required. Due to the limited number of places available, some seminars cannot admit exchange students as the places available need to be given to students who will graduate from WWU; therefore those courses are often booked out even before the semester start. Exchange students will get all important information on offerings and deadlines before the semester begins.

     
  • Term I and Term II courses
    Each semester consists of two periods, Term I and Term II, so we differentiate between courses taking place during the whole semester (=regular courses), and courses in either Term I or Term II.

• EXAM OFFICE Registration for Courses and Exams

  >> General rule

  For the majority of SBE courses, no prior course enrollment is possible or required.

  • Instead, students must register for all courses at the examination office. Those registration periods will start after the beginning of the semester and are communicated in due time before.
  • Only seminars do require a prior application - at the respective Chair directly -  in order to participate.
  • Importantly, all courses (that is all Lectures & Seminars)  require a registration at the examination office (see below, via e-mail and before the registration deadline).
