Institute of Scandinavian Studies

The departmental student advisory service advises on all questions concerning the study of Scandinavian Studies / Nordic Philology both in the BA program and in the Master's program (to a limited extent also in the doctoral program).

We advise you, for example, on the content, organization and structure of your studies (admission requirements, course of studies, examinations, questions of recognition, formalities of graduation, organization of studies around a semester abroad, examination regulations, examination topics, etc.). The Student Advisory Service is also your point of contact in the event of conflicts over schedules. In conflict situations with teachers, the Student Advisory Service acts as a mediator. It advises and supports you in cases of hardship (raising children, illness, caring for relatives, etc.).

In addition, the Student Advisory Service is the first point of contact for all questions that may arise in the broader context of the study situation (learning or motivation problems, structuring problems, compatibility of studies and part-time job). In some cases, the Student Advisory Service can help directly. In other cases, it can refer you to the right offices. The University of Münster has a large number of counseling services for a wide variety of concerns and problems - the Student Advisory Service will help you find the right address. No matter which question you would like to clarify at the Student Advisory Service: Anonymity is guaranteed!

Please note that it can sometimes take a few days for e-mails to be answered. Please also feel free to try to reach us by phone.

Department of Romance Studies

Please contact us via Email or set up a telefon appointment.

In principle, all lecturers of the department are available for student advising. In addition, there are designated subject representatives (see below) who are particularly familiar with the organizational aspects of your studies and who are available to give you advice and support during their consultation hours. For first-year students, there are also special advising appointments (see below). The student council can also help you in many cases - especially in the initial phase.

However, answers to your questions are often already available on the homepage. It is therefore advisable to consult this information first when you have questions, i.e. the study regulations, the thematic help pages and above all the important study notes. This may save you time that you would otherwise spend waiting in line at the consulting rooms. However, please note: If you are unsure about certain topics, always consult the student advisory service; do not rely solely on assumptions or vague information that you have received from fellow students who may be similarly unsure.

Simple questions can often be answered by mail. However, clarify more complex concerns (for example, planning your course of study) directly in the office hours of the respective faculty advisor. It is not practical to provide efficient and comprehensive advice by mail. Only in the consultation hour can you repeatedly ask questions and in this way ensure that you have understood everything.

Where can I find advice on which topic? The working group "Guide to Academic Advising" has created an information brochure (PDF) that provides students and prospective students with an overview of which offices they should best contact with which questions.
