Liebe Studierende,

die Klausurphase steht vor der Tür und viele von euch sind bereits mitten in den Vorbereitungen. Damit ihr euch auch am Campus noch besser auf eure Prüfungen vorbereiten könnt, haben wir zusätzliche Arbeitsräume für euch geöffnet.

Ab sofort stehen euch – ergänzend zu den Bibliotheksräumen – die Räume 032 bis 034 sowie Raum 020 im Leo 3 frei zur Verfügung.

Die Räume sind bereits jetzt ohne Einschränkung nutzbar. In den kommenden Wochen werden wir diese Arbeitsbereiche aber auch schrittweise weiter ausbauen und umgestalten, um sie langfristig noch besser an eure Bedürfnisse anzupassen.

Wir wünschen euch eine erfolgreiche und produktive Klausurphase!

Viele Grüße
Lena

Liebe Studierende, 

wie angekündigt, findet heute von 18-20 Uhr (s.t.) die Vorstellung der Wahlpflichtmodule statt. Wir beginnen um 18 Uhr mit der Vorstellung der Vertiefungsmodule (PO 2018) und Seminare (PO 2022). Ab 19 Uhr geht es dann weiter mit den Projektseminaren. Zu Beginn starte ich jeweils mit einem allgemeinen Infoblock.

Im folgenden interaktiven Hedge-Doc Pad finden Sie bereits Informationen zu den Vertiefungsmoulen/ Seminaren und Projektseminaren im kommenden Semester. Bitte nutzen Sie das Pad, um sich intensiv über die Angebote zu informieren und auch Fragen zu stellen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass das Dokument aktuell ggfs. noch bearbeitet wird und Informationen dazu kommen können. Natürlich bleibt das Pad auch nach dem Vorstellungstermin (für Fragen) offen. Am Vorstellungsabend selber sind die Zeitfenster für Fragen jedoch sehr eng bemessen.

Hey all,

as the exams are moving closer, I wanted to invite you to the next live session on effective studying on Monday, 19 January, 4 pm (c.t.) to 6 pm in Leo 18.

I envision the session to start with a quick recap of effective study methods at the beginning of the session, while the bigger part is spent with getting your hands dirty by applying the methods to the topics covered in your next exams.
As most of the study methods are simple—though not intuitive—this session should also be valuable for students new to this topic. Nevertheless, I would see the primary purpose of the session in the accountability it provides than the knowledge it conveys. Not the understanding of what to do, but the disciplined execution and making it a habit, is the main challenge. This session can be a stepping stone in your learning journey. It is suitable for students of all semesters and all studies (so although it is an offering by the Information Systems institute, feel free to bring your friends).

Here are some sources to get you started in the meantime:

• LearnWeb course by me covering foundational topics (like illusions of knowing and desirable difficulties) and effective techniques (like retrieval, spacing, and variation). Available as slides and videos.
• Book "Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning". Available online for free via ULB; quite easy read with lots of anecdotes and examples.
• Video on active recall (aka. retrieval, THE study method you should definitely be doing) by Ali Abdaal (my first point of contact with the topic of effective studying)
• Video on spaced repetition (aka. spacing) by Ali Abdaal

If you have any questions, please contact me personally at sligensa@uni-muenster.de.

I wish you a smooth start for the year 2026 and look forward to seeing you in two weeks!

Liebe Studierende, 

Wie gewohnt starten wir auch schon wieder in die Planungen für das kommende Semester und so stehen im Januar die Vorstellungen der Wahlpflichtmodule für das Sommersemester 2026 an. 

Die Bachelormodule werden am Montag den 19. Januar von 18 -20 Uhr (s.t.) über Zoom vorgestellt. Im Anschluss an den Termin startet wie immer die Bewerbungsphase für die Vertiefungsmodule und Projektseminare (alte PO 2018), sowie die Seminare und Projektseminare (neue PO 2022). Informationen hierzu erfolgen ebenfalls im Rahmen des Vorstellungstermins. 

Weitere Infos, sowie die Zoomzugangsdaten folgen! 

Viele Grüße, schöne Weihnachtstage und einen guten Rutsch,

Liebe BA-Studierende, die das erste Studienjahr bereits abgeschlossen haben,

wie schon angekündigt, haben wir für das kommende Sommersemester ein Design Thinking-Seminar mit der Georgia College and State University (GCSU) in den USA geplant und dafür finanzielle Unterstützung gesammelt. Wer also Lust auf ca. zwei Wochen interkulturelle Erfahrung im Juli hat, sollte nicht lange nachdenken!

Einen Überblick über GCSU und Milledgeville gibt es in dieser Präsentation: Link zur Präsentation

Weitere Informationen zum Seminar gibt es hier: https://www.erc.is/go/dt2026

Die Bewerbung schließt am 19.12.2025 (das ist kommenden Freitag)! Also: Ausfüllen, abschicken! Hier ist der Link zur Bewerbung:

https://dt-application.ercis-services.eu/index.php/592852?lang=en

Viel Erfolg!

Interested in spending a funded semester abroad in 2026? Our colleagues from Georgia College & State University (GCSU) are visiting Münster and will, together with Armin Stein and Katrin Bergener, host an info session to answer all your questions about studying at GCSU, including campus life, courses, and the surrounding area.

📅 25 November
🕒 15:00–16:00
📍 Room 115, Leonardo-Campus 3

Are your 3rd+ semester BA IS? Don’t miss the chance to learn more about exchange opportunities at a real American campus university!

If you don’t feel ready or can’t manage to spend a full semester abroad, consider joining the Bachelor Design Thinking Seminar next summer semester. It includes a trip to the US to visit GCSU (like the University of Münster one of only thirteen Celonis Center of Excellence world-wide), and work together with American students on-site on a Design Thinking Challenge.

More info at: https://www.wi.uni-muenster.de/student-affairs/course-offerings/ba-dt-seminar

To plan elective courses in Summer term 2024, a preliminary survey is conducted.

If you are willing to  participate to a seminar or project seminar in Summer Term 2026 , please join this survey in the Learnweb:

https://www.uni-muenster.de/LearnWeb/learnweb2/mod/feedback/view.php?id=3901625

The survey is opened now and and will be closed on 2025/11/26 23.59.  An FAQ-Site describing the whole process is available here:

https://www.uni-muenster.de/LearnWeb/learnweb2/mod/page/view.php?id=1043934

An application phase will follow during the last two weeks of lecture time and will be announced separately in the Coordinator's Blog.

Especially,  we ask about your interest in a start-up project seminar, as announced by a separate  feed.

Note that participation in this survey is a neccessary condition. That means: if during application phase a larger number of applications shows up compared to the numbers given by this survey and, due to this underestimation of capacity there are too few places in offered seminars/project seminars,  then students with an application but without participation in the survey risk to be disregarded. On the other side during application phase, applications of students who have participated in this survey will usually be considered.

A word to Bachelor students who change to the Master-programm next semester (and might have the course IS-MSc-Coord, to see information concerning Master studies): Assignments to seminars and project seminars taking part in your first Master semester will not be possible in general. There are plenty of lectures intended, e.g. for the first semester, hence there is no need for a seminar/project seminar during your 1st Master semester. 

Yours sincerely

Ingolf Terveer
