Finding the Right Contact Person
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.
Courses in your major (BA, BAKuWi, MA, MAKuWi) or one of your subjects (B.ed., M.ed.)
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 discuss the recognition of courses in the Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies module (B.A. Culture and Economy, B.A.) or the International Cultural Studies courses offered in the Intercultural Knowledge module (Bachelor 4) with the departmental exchange coordinators at the dean's office of the School of Humanities. Please contact auslandssemester.phil@uni-mannheim.de.
Courses that can be recognized for the Mobility Module (M.A. Culture and Economy: Philosophy and MA Language and Communication)
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.
Business Ethics (B.A. Culture and Economy)
Please discuss the recognition of the Business Ethics course (B.A. Culture and Economy) with the departmental exchange coordinators at the School.
Courses in the combination major (B.A. Culture and Economy and M.A. Culture and Economy)
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/
or the Department of Economics. Therefore, our programs are structured so as to ensure that the courses in the combination major can also be taken in the semesters before or after your stay abroad. Should you still consider taking courses in your combination major abroad, please contact your program manager first.
