We are one of the largest institutes for political science in Germany, at a university rich in tradition and, of course, in the historic city of Münster, site of the Westphalian peace conference.
We at the ERASMUS office at the IfPol are responsible for questions regarding your time and studies at our institute, questions surrounding your Learning Agreement and transcripts. Please have a look at our Erasmus+ FAQ for general information. For more specific questions or if your questions haven't been answered, please contact Dr. Anna Meine at the ERASMUS office (exchange.ifpol@uni-muenster.de).
Incoming students usually come to Münster from our partner universities within the ERASMUS framework. The first step in your journey towards studying with us it to apply at your home university and be nominated.
