F.A.Q. Incoming:

When and where do I have to register for courses?

The Erasmus Coordinator will send you a form to apply for courses offered by the Department of Communication about two months before the beginning of the semester. To sign up for all other courses, you will need to contact the respective department well before the semester begins.

All courses offered at the University of Münster are listed in the course catalog. All courses offered by the Department of Communication can be found by following the path ’Veranstaltungen’ -> ’Vorlesungsverzeichnis ’ -> ’Erziehungswissenschaft und Sozialwissenschaften’ -> ’Fachrichtung Sozialwissenschaften’ -> ’Kommunikationswissenschaft ’. Descriptions of all modules can be found in the module manual (de) of the single subject Bachelor Communication Studies.
In addition, you can find a list of all English-language courses offered by the Department of Education and Social Sciences, which is compiled exclusively for Erasmus students of Communication Studies, Education, Sociology and Political Science every semester. You can view the list here or by following this path: Veranstaltungen -> Vorlesungsverzeichnis -> Erziehungswissenschaft und Sozialwissenschaften -> Erasmus/Incomings.

Which courses can I take?

Erasmus students can take courses from the following modules:

  • Methodenmodul
  • Kommunikations- und Medienpraxis I
  • Medienstrukturen und –organisationsformen
  • Vertiefungsmodul I: Gesellschaft, Öffentlichkeit, Kultur
  • Vertiefungsmodul II: PR- und Werbeforschung
  • Vertiefungsmodul III: Journalismusforschung
  • Vertiefungsmodul IV: PR- & Werbeforschung

We do not recommend taking courses offered within the module Kommunikations- und Medienpraxis II or Forschungspraxis, as courses within these modules require specific foreknowledge. If you are still interested in taking one of these courses, please contact the Erasmus Coordinator. Additionally, courses within the module Einführungsmodul are often not recognized by other universities; you will need to contact your coordinator to verify whether these courses are recognized by your university.

Are there courses I definitely have to take?

No. You only take courses required by your university for your course of studies.

Can I take courses at other departments?

Yes. To sign up for a course in another department, you will need to contact the respective department well before the semester begins. The International Office can provide you with more information on the topic.

Does the Department of Communication offer courses in English?

An overview of the courses at the University of Münster offered in English can be found in the course catalog.

Where can I find information on ECTS credits?

All information on ECTS credits can be found in the module manual. The module names equal the category names in the course catalog.
