BAPS informational events

It’s that time of the year again! MA British, American and Postcolonial Studies (MA BAPS) will be accepting applications for the winter term starting in May (applications phase ends July 15). There are two events we would like to draw your attention to:

For Münster students, we will be offering a small meet & greet with the BAPS team and with current BAPS students on May 11 at 2.15 pm in ES 333 – we will provide coffee and cookies, and you’re welcome to join us if you’d like to informally find out more about the program.

There will be a more formal informational meeting via zoom for Münster students and external students – this will be held on May 4 at 2.15 pm. Registration is possible via this link.

Silent Reading Club Münster

We are delighted to share this brief excerpt from WDR Lokalzeit (broadcast in May 2025), which features a current BAPS student and a former BAPS student, who together have successfully initiated the Silent Reading Club Münster: https://www1.wdr.de/lokalzeit/fernsehen/muensterland/silent-book-club-in-muenster-100.html. More information can be found on the Silent Reading Club Münster’s Instagram page: @silentbookclub.ms. It’s great to see what BAPS students and alumni are doing out in the world! Congrats to Anna and Aline, and happy reading!
