The registration is initially made by e-mail to the following address: international-masters-students@verw.uni-koeln.de.

Usually, these are the following documents: Application for enrolment, health insurance certificate if applicable and an additional document. Attention: Enrolment will only take place if the semester fee has already been received in full in your KLIPS account.

The UCCard will be sent by post after enrolment if you have indicated a German address in KLIPS. A solution is currently being worked on for all others. Please refer to the UCCard support website for more information.

The activation of the student account is necessary for the registration of your courses during your degree course.

You can find instructions on how to activate your student account on the website of the Regional Computing Centre: Activation of the student account 

Information:

In order to register for examinations, you must apply for admission to the examination procedure once before the start of your studies.

Please send your application form and if necessary futher documents via post to the WiSo Examination Office directly.

Only if you register for the examination process by 15 October it can be guaranteed that you can register for examinations in the winter semester on time. However, it is generally also possible to submit the application after 15 October.

You can find all the information you need here. Please note the checklist on the website of the Examination Office. You do not need to re-submit your Bachelor's degree (incl. Transcript of Records) with which you applied at the University of Cologne. If you were not previously enrolled in another Master's programme, you only need to submit the application for admission to the examination procedure.

If you have already studied for a Master's degree at another college/university, you must enclose with your application for admission to the examination procedure a current and official transcript of records (not a simple copy or printout) from your previous studies, even if you have not yet earned any credits there.

Due to this instruction you can check yourself wether your are admitted to the examination procedure.

Information:

Course registration is only possible after successful activation of the student account.

If you are not yet successfully enrolled during the 2nd KLIPS registration period, you cannot register for courses. Please use the allocation of remaining places in KLIPS 2, which starts on 30 Oct 2020.

Here you will find video tutorials on how to register and prioritise lectures in KLIPS 2. A list of the lectures requiring a registration via KLIPS 2.0 can be found here on this website. There you will also find further information on course and exam registration and the phases in which you need to register.

Please visit our KLIPS-Infoveransatltungen. Participation in one KLIPS information event is sufficient. The event is in German language, the video tutorials linked above are also available in English language.

The WiSo Master Welcome Days will take place in digital form for the first time in 2020 from 6th to 9th October 2020. The welcome event will also be recorded and made available here on this website (master first semester), so that you can have a successful start to the semester even without being on site. Please find below the links to the zoom webinars and meetings.

Please be sure to participate in the Master's orientation phase of the student council in order to get to know your new fellow students and to network. The programme of the student council and the link for registration can be found here.

Important:

If, at the time of application, you had not yet completed your Bachelor's degree, admission is subject to the timely completion of your degree course by 30 Sepetmber. In this case, examinations taken in the first semester of your Master's degree course are also not valid if your Bachelor's degree was not completed on time and admission is withdrawn.

The following applies in this case: All outstanding exams in the Bachelor must be completed (taken, not graded) by 30 September!

As proof, you must present your Bachelor's degree certificate as part of the document check of the Master's enrolment at the WiSo Student Service Point. The data will then be transmitted to the Student's Registration Office so that your re-registration block for summer term 2021 will be removed. Please send the certified copy of the Bachelor's diploma or the final certificate together with your other documents in the context of the document check to the WiSSPo by 5 February 2021 (see enrolment procedure).

Note for UoC Bachelor students:

In accordance with the Corona University Ordinance (§1 of the Rectorate's decision), UoC Bachelor's students in winter semester 2020/21 may be enrolled simultaneously in their last Bachelor's and first Master's semester. The above-mentioned deadline of 30 Sep for taking the last Bachelor's examination therefore does not apply to UoC students in 2020. However, the last Bachelor's examination should be taken as soon as possible so that you are then only enrolled in the Master's degree course. You must present your Bachelor's degree certificate at the WiSo Student Service Point by 31 March 2021 at the latest. We recommend to do this in the course of the document check by 5 February 2021.

As a first-year student at the WiSo faculty, with the kind support of Deloitte, you will receive a great calculator which you can also use for your exams at the WiSo faculty. The welcome gift will be presented to you during the attendance days during the Master's orientation days of the WiSo student's council from 12 October 2020.

The following steps should also be taken before the start of lectures:

• Have a look at the examination regulations that are binding for your course of study and the module catalogue (see website area Documents and Media).
• Read your Master Newsletter, which you will receive regularly via KLIPS.
• Follow the WiSo faculty on Instagram and Facebook. Here we will regularly inform you about important information and events at WiSo. We also look forward to staying in contact with you!

The following checklist is intended to make it easier for international first-year students who completed their Bachelor's degree abroad to start their studies with us.

To tick the boxes, the checklist must be downloaded once as a PDF.
