External initiatives
Münster offers a wide range of initiatives, associations, projects and organisations in which you can get involved on a voluntary basis. Some of these are of particular interest to Communication Science students. These initiatives offer you the opportunity to sharpen your own profile alongside your studies, to learn important soft skills for everyday professional life, to apply what you have learned in practice, to make contacts and to prepare for your future career.
This overview of external initiatives is a compilation of the Departmental Student Body and presents those initiatives that are particularly relevant to Communication Science students. The texts were written by the initiatives themselves.
Radio Q
Radio Q is the campus radio station for Münster and Steinfurt. The entire programme is created by students and you can join us too!
Every semester we offer a compact training course, where we teach you the basics of radio and online journalism in eight weeks. After your compact training, you can either join Q as a freelancer or take over the training of the next „Kompaktigeneration“ - as “Chef*in vom Dienst” (production editor). Later on, you can become a presenter yourself, part of the editorial team or the board. We also run workshops on presenting, interviewing and trailer production. There are no limits to what you can do: in the editorial department you can produce stories for the on-air broadcasts, in the music department you can choose the music, or in the online department you can manage our social media channels. The application deadline is at the beginning of each semester, we will keep you updated on Instagram, follow us on radioq!
Listen to our webstream on our website or on 90.9 MHz. In our morning show “Coffeeshop”, our presenters talk about the latest news from university politics, everyday life at the university and give you tips for exciting events. From 18:00, we broadcast the evening programme “Abwasch”, which deals with various topics. We talk to interesting personalities or discuss news from the world of culture and science. We then broadcast evening programmes where we discuss current affairs in the world of music or special interests such as history or film. We look forward to hearing from you!

This not only gives you the opportunity to gain practical experience alongside your studies - you will also make your first contacts in the world of professional communicators alongside other students!
