Registration for “Business English” and “English for the Social Sciences” language courses is still open. The course is open to all WiSo faculty students but places are limited and allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. 

As part of the registration, you will need to take a placement test or send us a copy of a valid English certificate to evaluate your current English language proficiency. Dates for the placement test can be found on the registration page.

Bachelor students (excluding those studying Lehramt BK1) have the possibility to obtain 6 ECTS within the module Studium Integrale on successful completion and passing of the course. 

Please visit the Business English homepage (under the ‘International at Home’ tab) for more information. Incoming students who wish to register and do not yet have an ILIAS account should contact the Business English team on wirtschaftsenglisch(at)wiso.uni-koeln.de.

On Wednesday, 18th July, 5:45 pm there will be the last session of our lecture series on global trade for this semester in lecture hall XXIV, Wiso-Schlauch.
Helmut Scholz, Member of  the European Parliament (DIE LINKE) and Gudrun Kopp (FDP) will discuss whether and how Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with countries of the global south can promote sustainable development and economic chances for these countries. Can these Agreements help to impose labour standards and human rights? And is the EU able to influence the direction of the WTO?

All information about the lecture and the individual events are available at www.ringvorlesung-koeln.de.

(Please note that this lecture is held in German language)

PS: If you are interested to organize and develop a lecture series together with OIKOS for the next summer semester please write to: ringvorlesung(at)oikos-koeln.org
