Whether at one of our numerous partner universities or as a freemover, the Accounting Center Münster offers every student the opportunity to spend a semester abroad. For this purpose, we offer a mobility window in the third semester of the master programme, but a semester abroad is also possible in any other semester depending on the desired course of study.

The International Relations Center (IRC) of the School of Business and Economics and the International Office of the University of Münster provide advice on application, planning and funding if required.

Credit transfer at the Accounting Center Münster

The transfer of credits earned abroad is flexible, fast and uncomplicated – regardless of whether the semester abroad is completed at one of our partner universities or as a freemover. To ensure planning security, the credit transfer process always begins with a preliminary review of the coursework planned abroad.

In addition to the possibility of having individual credits transferred, the Accounting Center Münster also offers a special program: the integrated semester abroad. With the integrated semester abroad, students can have a complete semester with 24 to 30 ECTS credits transferred as a coherent package. The prerequisite for an integrated semester abroad is that at least 50% of the course content abroad is related to accounting topics. In addition, modules can be freely selected and their credits transferred. The integrated semester abroad thus offers the opportunity to complete a semester abroad at a foreign university that only offers a limited curriculum in the field of accounting.

	Integrated semester abroad at the Griffith University Brisbane, Australia "Thanks to the integrated semester abroad, in addition to Corporate Accounting and Financial Statement Analysis, I was also able to take and transfer credits for courses that do not fall under my specialization in Accounting, such as Global Business Strategy and Investments, without any difficulties. Griffith University is a very international university, which also offers numerous excursions in addition to the studies, such as surfing courses on the Gold Coast or day trips to Noosa, which promotes intercultural contact between the students." - Marie-Christine Merveldt, Major Accounting | Minor Accounting
	Integrated semester abroad at the University of Zurich, Switzerland "My semester abroad at the University of Zurich gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge of accounting and finance with valuable interdisciplinary perspectives. I gained particularly exciting insights from courses such as Recent Developments in Environmental Economics and Fundamentals of Digital Marketing, which do not fall within my areas of specialization. The University of Zurich not only offers excellent academic opportunities, but also an inspiring international environment in the heart of one of the most liveable cities in Europe." - Pascal Komischke, Major Accounting | Minor Finance
