Information for incoming Students from European & Asian Partner Universities

EBP is a 7 semester programme including 1 semester of placement. To receive the BA from EBP you will need to earn 210 ECTS credits including a semester of placement with a minimum of 60 ECTS from modules taught at MSB. The agreement between EBP and your home university will specify the year you will join us and how your placement will be validated. To summarize:

• 7 semesters = 210 ECTS credit points (CP)
• Including 1 semester (usually 20 weeks) of placement = 30 ECTS- CP (agreements with partner universities may deviate from this rule)
• Minimum 60 ECTS-CP achieved at Münster School of Business (MSB) in modules
• Thesis (written at MSB or home institution)

For students joining from partner universities in year 3 the module requirements for their year in Münster are as given below:

 *One specialization module can be replaced by 2 intermediate modules

** If the thesis is written at your home university you will be able to replace it by an intermediate module

"Intermediate Modules" are 2^nd year modules that to some extent can be chosen by 3^rd year students. "Specialisation modules" are 3^rd year modules.

You can choose from the following modules taught in English:

Münster is a city located in the north-west of Germany and home of about 320.000 citizens. The town was founded in the 8th century (AD) around a monastery. Later it became the seat of a Prince Bishop and a member of the Hanseatic League. In its town hall the Treaty of Westphalia was signed in 1648, ending the Thirty Years' War that involved the major European powers of the time.

Today, it is the cultural capital of Westphalia. With more than 50.000 students, Münster is one of Germany's biggest university towns. This clearly influences the lifestyle and leisure activities.

Münster's busy Kuhviertel and Hafen areas contain just a small part of the countless pubs in this city.
But not only night life is worthwhile in Münster. Münster's Old Town around the famous Prinzipalmarkt, which is known for his historic buildings, makes this city unique. Just like the innumerable amount of bikes, or Leezen as they are called locally - with around 600.000 bikes there are twice as many bikes in this city than residents.  No wonder that Münster is known as the "Bicycle Capital" of Germany.

Modern architecture and historic buldings in perfect symbiosis, diverse museums and varied events - altogether Münster is the "World's Most Liveable City" (LivCom Award 2004). We invite you to become part of the EBP family and to enjoy Münster to the full.
