Last updated: 09/30/2022

At the Institute of Sociology, the regular corona and energy rules of the University of Münster apply, which you can find out about on the WWU central information page.
The following points are merely concretizations of the WWU requirements.


Courses

Winter Semester 22/23:

  • Also in the winter semester 2022/23, all courses will basically take place on site.
  • Some seminars will be offered partially or completely as hybrid courses, i.e. there will be a live stream from the seminar room, for example; the lecturers will provide information about this in the first sessions.
  • In individual cases, lecturers may be able to offer seminars exclusively digitally for health reasons; you will find a corresponding note in the commentary of the courses.
  • Most lectures will be available the entire semester as a stream or recording in addition to the on-site session.

Examinations at IfS

  • From the summer semester of 2022, the regular examination and free-trial regulations will apply again as before the pandemic.

  • You will be informed about the way examinations are conducted at the end of the semester in the relevant courses.

  • Further information on examinations (including registration for final theses) can be obtained from the relevant examination offices (especially Examination Office I)

Service office (central contact point for all questions about studying at the Institute of Sociology)

  • Current information on the availability of the service office can be found here.

Internship

  • Please follow the instructions on the internship website [de] for the digital registration of the internship and for submitting the internship report.
  • The corona-related transitional solution for internships was only valid until the winter semester 2021/22.

Opening of institute´s building

  • The institute building is open again on a regular basis: From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays during the semester, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the semester break.
  • We still recommend wearing a mask when you are in the building. In the courses, the lecturers decide whether a mask must be worn.
  • Consultation hours will again take place on site, but it is advisable to check with the lecturers in advance whether it would not be useful to talk by phone or video conference.
