Since the programs at the School of Humanities are interdisciplinary in nature, you often study in different departments. As a result, you have to discuss the recognition of the courses you would like to take abroad with different people. In general, courses that are clearly part of your core subject need to be discussed with the relevant contact person of your department. Interdisciplinary courses (IKW, ICS, mobility module) need to be recognized on School level by the staff of the Dean's Office.
Please discuss the recognition of courses in one of your subjects (M.A./M.Ed. programs and B.A./B.Ed. programs) or in your major (Culture and Economy) with the respective departmental area representative for recognition requests:

Please contact auslandssemester.phil@uni-mannheim.de.
If you are studying the master’s program in Culture and Economy: Philosophy or Language and Communication, please contact your program manager to conclude the recognition agreement for courses in the Mobility Module.
Please discuss the recognition of the Business Ethics course (B.A. Culture and Economy) with the departmental exchange coordinators at the School.
Courses in your combination major (apart from Business Ethics) are often less suitable for being studied abroad. There are two reasons for this: First, at the partner university, you will usually be nominated at the local school of humanities and therefore have access mainly or exclusively to courses offered as part of the programs of that school. Secondly, in Mannheim, agreements on the recognition of courses are, in this case, not made with the School of Humanities, where you are enrolled, but with the competent contact persons at the Business School and/
