  • Who can take our courses

    Our courses and exams are only open to students enrolled at the University of Münster. Students from other universities (including other Münster universities) can, unfortunately, not be accepted into courses or take exams with us.

    If there are free spaces, persons with the status of „Gasthörer“ and participants of the programme „Studium im Alter“ for mature students can take part in general language courses at level B1 or higher provided they can prove they have sufficient knowledge of the language in question. However, they cannot get a course certificate with a grade. For more infomration, please contact the language coordinator by email.

    2. C-Test for placement

    For most of our language classes, you have to take our placement test, the so-called C-Test, which you can practice using the Demo-Version.
    You cannot register for courses until you have taken the C-Test.

  • Courses for the „Allgemeine Studien“

    This information is only relevant to students studying for a full degree at the WWU Münster.

    You can see from both the individual course info and the category „Allgemeine Studien“ in the course list which courses are accredited for the „Allgemeine Studien“ (= a general studies component of some WWU degrees).

    The Faculty of Philology and other WWU institutes also offer courses expressly for the „Allgemeine Studien“ in other languages. You can find a complete list in HIS LSF under  „Allgemeine Studien Modul 1: (Fremd-) Sprachkompetenz“.

    For many degrees, you also have to register for the course exam in QISPOS so that the course counts for the „Allgemeine Studien“. The QISPOS deadlines can be found here.
