Dear Students,
The following courses are available for registration during the winter semester:
I. Intercultural Training: MHS & Me
Miloš Dopsaj
Sat, October 17 & 24, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (LP317 )
The course centers on the question: Where is home? You’ll reflect on your origins, your cultural background, and your goals in your new environment. This will be complemented by practical advice on studying, dealing with government agencies, everyday life, and building a network. There will also be opportunities for discussion. In short: It’s about finding your place between different worlds—both musically and personally.
Introduction to artistic foundations: My musical journey
Prof.‘ in Elisabeth Fürniss
Fri, 30 October 2026 | 14:30–20:30 / Sat, 21 November 2026 | 11:00–17:00 (LP 317)
This course explores the fundamental phenomena of music and the question of how we talk about music. You’ll reflect on your artistic roots and your personal musical journey. Music will be examined as a means of communication, and different perspectives on music will be highlighted. There is a special focus on conscious listening: What am I hearing right now? And which piece has had a particularly profound impact on me? In short: The goal is to explore your own musical identity and deepen your dialogue about music.

On Thursday, November 12, 2026, the "Hochschultag" will take place in Münster. Every year, more than 10,000 prospective students visit the participating universities in the city to get a taste of college life on campus. The event is open to both teachers with their school classes and individuals who are considering their own college choices and have questions about college life.

Over the past two semesters, Barbara Overbeck has produced a series for WDR 3’s “Tonart” program profiling the college experiences of Elnur Misirli (a flutist in Prof. Eyal Ein-Habar’s class) and Marlene Töcker (a bassoonist in Miloš Dopsaj’s class). In the three radio episodes Die ersten Erlebnisse, Was passiert in den Semesterferien? and Prüfungen you’ll get fascinating glimpses into the college life of our students. It’s definitely worth a listen!

Focus on Teaching—Insights from the Teaching Tour of the Academic Departments at the University of Münster
The goal of this teaching tour was to shine a spotlight on the topic of “teaching” at the university. The focus was on inspiring concepts from various degree programs, dedicated faculty, engaged students, and innovative teaching projects that demonstrate what is already possible today and what may emerge tomorrow.
