Support of international teaching

2nd call for proposals for teaching in English published

The pilot funding programme supports the development of English-language courses at the University of Münster. Interested departments can apply for lump sums to expand English-language offerings in German-language degree programmes.

English-language courses enrich teaching at the University of Münster. A wide range of English-language courses enables students to expand their technical language skills and international experience and to better understand the international context of their own subject. These courses offer valuable opportunities, especially for students who are unable to go abroad themselves. They also represent an attractive range of courses, particularly for international exchange students.

Application deadline: 10 September 2025
Funding period: 2025/26 winter semester

All information relevant to the call can be found here.

  • Funding conditions

    Integration of English-language teaching in German-language degree programmes/year

    • 05 to 10 LP/ECTS = €5,000
    • 10 to 20 LP/ECTS = €10,000
    • 20 to 30 LP/ECTS = €20,000
    • up to 30LP/ECTS – only for long-term integration into the curriculum (English Track) = €30,000
       

    Requirements:

    • The planned English-language courses are subject-specific courses and not purely language courses.
    • The courses are compulsory or elective.
    • The courses are published (LSF/website)
    • This is an additional course; a new subject-specific extension of the course offering
    • The courses are also open to international exchange students, either virtually, hybrid or physically.

  • Application

    Professors and lecturers at the University of Münster are eligible to apply, but require the support of the department head /head of the central institution. A broad distribution of funds is intended so that as many departments as possible benefit from the funding by the end of the project. Applications from departments that currently offer no or only very few courses taught in English will be given preference; departments that are already implementing measures may apply for funding to expand these.
