Is there a limit of students to be admitted? We will have a limit, but we do not want to establish it right now, as we fear that students will then start speculating and refraining themselves from applying, if we get too many applications, we will go through a selection process.
Applying, will not grant a space, but a great application surely will :)
Are there any pre-requisites in order to apply for the program?
Apart from being fluent in English and being enrolled in a undergraduate or graduate program, there are no further requisites. However, since the Summer School focuses on research methods and entrepreneurial ecosystems, the students should be interested in these topics.
At what time will the synchronous sessions take place?
We have not specified the synchronous sessions, so that we can remain flexible towards our international students. It will depend on the countries that will take part, so a more detailed schedule will be sent out once we have received all applications and have selected the final number of participants.
Are professors allowed to participate in the course?
Professors are welcome to participate as observers, but will not be graded, nor assessed in their tasks. We do appreciate application forms on behalf of them along with their line of expertise, research topics, etc. in order to find interesting matches here at the FH Münster and maybe collaborations on their research / project agendas.
How much workload do the students have and what is the ratio between synchronous class and independent work?
After the course, students will receive 3 ECTS. Each ECTS is equivalent to 28 hours and under normal circumstances we would have 1/3 of them devoted to independent work. However, in this case it will be a bit more since we consider it anti-pedagogical to have students in synchronous classes for more than three hours a day. So, we have a structured program that has a balance between synchronous and asynchronous classes, making independent work the heaviest variable in hour load.
When is the deadline for submitting the application?
Deadline is the 21st of April.
