Inhalte (short description):

.The modules “International Collaborative Studies" (M.184.3413 and M.184.3414) offer students the opportunity to participate in selected special events like international workshops and/or summer schools organized at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. Credits and grading are based on associated assignments, like a presentation and/or a seminar paper. The assignments will be prepared in joint meetings preceding the final event, finalized by students, and eventually presented at the given event. In case of limited places at the event itself, presentations may take place in group or at the seminar. The papers may have joint topics, but will have to be finalized individually.

The modules M.184.3413 (5 ECTS) and M.184.3414 (10 ECTS) are following the same concept but differ in their workload and associated event(s).

In winter semester 2022/23, only module M.184.3413 will be offered. The module will allow students to participate in the International Spring Program (ISP) 2023. The ISP is organized by the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics in collaboration with Tohoku University, Japan. The ISP has already been offered sucessfully several times. After being suspended in 2021 and 2022 due to the Corona-Pandemic, the next ISP will take place in March 2023. The preparation for participation (presentations and papers) will take place on a weekly basis throughout winter semester 2022/23. During the semester, students will also start collaborative online studies with the participants at Tohoku University. These students will then visit Paderborn University from Feb. 04-19.2023 to participate in the International Spring School. During this time, the joint studies which began online will be finalized in personal meetings at Paderborn University.

The module M.184.3413 is targeting students in their second or higher year of bachelor studies. Participation by first year students is fine as well, given the state of studies allows to select profile phase modules. To register for the module, please send a short motivation letter (one paragraph) and a copy of your current transcript of records by e-mail to ingrid.kelsey@uni-paderborn.de. Participation and selection results will be announced within the official registration phase (Revisionsphase).​
