University of Münster

• Legal notice https://www.uni-muenster.de/de/en/impressum.html

  The legal notice states the official name Universität Münster, the address Schlossplatz 2, 48149 Münster, Germany, and the university's public-sector statutory status in North Rhine-Westphalia.

  This is used for the stored name, city and countryCode.

• Study guide https://www.uni-muenster.de/ZSB/studienfuehrer/

  The guide lists named degree programmes and degree types, including BSc, BA, ZFB, Staatsexamen, LL.B., MTheol and other routes.

  It is base evidence for a conservative programme-choice score: the dominant model is built around a preselected programme or subject combination, not a common first year followed by later main-specialisation choice.

• Betriebswirtschaftslehre B.Sc. programme page https://www.uni-muenster.de/ZSB/studienfuehrer/zeigefach.php?nr=154

  The programme page shows the Bachelor of Science degree and a separate first-semester application route for Betriebswirtschaftslehre.

  It confirms admission into a specific bachelor route rather than post-enrollment choice of a main specialisation.

• Betriebswirtschaftslehre B.Sc. examination regulations https://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/wwu/ab_uni/beitrag261101.pdf

  The 2026 regulations define a three-year, 180 ECTS bachelor programme in Betriebswirtschaftslehre.

  The curriculum includes compulsory areas, a 48 ECTS Wahlpflichtbereich, a specialisation area and a 12 ECTS free compulsory-elective area where students may use Allgemeine Studien or elective modules in economics, business administration and information systems.

  This confirms course choice inside structured requirements, but not unrestricted choice of any university courses.

• Anglistik/Amerikanistik two-subject bachelor page https://www.uni-muenster.de/ZSB/studienfuehrer/zeigefach.php?nr=849

  The ZFB page explains that the two-subject bachelor requires two subjects studied in equal volume and separately describes restricted first-semester application.

  The two-subject structure is not counted as a double major because the checked official material links the subject combination to application and enrolment, not ordinary in-study choice of a second main field.

• Two-subject bachelor framework regulations https://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/wwu/ab_uni/ab2011/ausgabe11/beitrag_05.pdf

  The framework regulations set a three-year duration, 180 ECTS, two subjects of 75 ECTS each, 20 ECTS of Allgemeine Studien or educational studies, and 10 ECTS for the bachelor thesis.

  Admission to the bachelor examination follows enrolment in two subjects, while later subject change is described as Umschreibung im Rahmen eines Fachwechsels, a formal administrative procedure rather than built-in major or minor choice.

• Allgemeine Studien regulations for the two-subject bachelor https://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/wwu/ab_uni/ab2013/ausgabe23/beitrag07.pdf

  Allgemeine Studien carry 20 ECTS in the two-subject model and include offerings from faculties and central units that are certified for this area and published each semester in the course catalogue.

  Students must complete courses in at least two different competence areas. This supports structured internal course choice, while keeping the classification below unrestricted free choice of any internal courses.

• Amendment to the Allgemeine Studien regulations https://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/wwu/ab_uni/beitrag223302.pdf

  The 2022 amendment updates the competence areas for Allgemeine Studien and adds Nachhaltigkeit as the sixth area.

  It confirms that choice in this block is organised through predefined competence areas rather than an open catalogue without distribution requirements.

• Recognition of prior study in Betriebswirtschaftslehre B.Sc. https://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/wwu/ab_uni/beitrag261101.pdf

  The recognition section describes recognition of studies completed at other universities upon application and after checking substantial differences or comparability of documentation.

  This is a recognition procedure for completed learning, not an ordinary right to choose individual external courses from a partner catalogue and count them into the home programme.

• Study abroad https://www.uni-muenster.de/studium/en/outgoing/index.html

  The page describes Erasmus+, CeSAP, foreign internships and partner-university study as mobility formats, including an Erasmus semester at one of more than 550 partner universities.

  This matters for the courseChoice boundary: mobility and exchange are not the same as ordinary selection of individual external modules inside the home programme.

• Medical licensing regulations https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/_appro_2002/BJNR240500002.html

  Münster's catalogue includes Medizin with Staatsexamen, and the federal Approbationsordnung sets the standard duration of medical training at six years and three months.

  This extends the stored duration range for first-professional study to 6.25 years.
