WiSo Bachelor Infomail: 12 August 2026

Are you planning to participate in an exchange programme via the WiSo faculty? Now is your chance to start your preparations by obtaining a certified proof of your English language skills. We’re still accepting new registrations for the Business English course during the winter semester 2026/27. Placement test dates will still be offered until the end of September. If you are looking for further developing your communication skills with focus on appropriate Business English, this could be the ideal course for you! 

Courses are open to all WiSo Faculty students. Bachelor’s students of most study programmes and incoming guest students have the opportunity to gain 6 ECTS within the module Studium Integrale upon successful completion of the course. Master’s students can take the course as part of their Extracurricular Modules. 

Please visit our website for more information and to find the registration link. 

Become a WiSo BUDDY and support international Master’s students as they start their journey in Cologne and at the university. As a Buddy, you’ll be a first point of contact for questions about studying, campus life, and everyday life in Cologne. Share your experiences, help new students feel welcome, and build valuable international connections while making their start at WiSo easier and more enjoyable.

The Buddy programme focuses on supporting new students during their first months in Cologne. You are free to decide how you stay in touch and shape the exchange together with your Buddy — whether through meeting for coffee, answering questions online, or sharing helpful tips along the way.

By becoming a Buddy, you can make a real difference in helping new students feel supported, connected, and at home from day one.
