Courses
IPS accepts international students including Erasmus+/Programme students/freemovers to classes, regardless of the agreements your mobility is based on.
Please note that the courses listed in your official Learning Agreement are not automatically reserved for you, even when they are signed by the Departmental Coordinator.
All international students are still required to complete the official course registration (inscription) according to the university’s registration procedures and deadlines.
Regular IPS exchange students (undergraduate and graduate level) have to sign in for IPS courses via WueStudy > „Exchange Programmes“ > „Political and Social Studies“ > „Exchange Political and Social Studies“ in the respective winter or summer term. You will need your personal University of Wuerzburg-studmail-account for this procedure.
If online registration is not accessible (for example because your mobility is not based on an official IPS exchange programme), please sign up for courses by contacting directly the respective lecturer.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they properly register for their selected courses within the designated registration period. Including a course in a Learning Agreement does not guarantee a place in that course. Availability may be subject to capacity limits, scheduling conflicts, or approval by the respective instructor. We kindly ask students to remain flexible and adust their programme if necessary upon arrival in Wuerzburg.
It is our good practice to meet all requirements from Erasmus or your home university as good as we can. Exams may be adjusted to individual requirements within the responsibility of each individual teaching person. Credits for modules are usually 5 ECTS, adjustments are possible.
