Process of enrolment

To enrol in in a master's programme, you have to take the following steps. They will be explained further on this website. It is important that you take the steps in this order!

The enrolment/handing in of the documents can be made in person or via postal mail (not via e-mail!). We recommend, however, to be present in person in order to be able to clarify questions or additional requests right away. You can find information on how to enrol via post at the bottom of this page.

1. Receiving the Acceptance Letter

For International Management the acceptance letters will be send out via e-mail approx. at the 8th of June 2016. At the 22nd of July we will send out the acceptance letters for all other Master's programmes via e-mail to the mail address you registered with in the application portal.

Please make sure that there is a minimum of 2 MB storage in your inbox. For the personal registration, a printed version of the acceptance letter has to be brought. Please note that we do not have the possibility to print this letter here.

2. Registration through KLIPS 2.0

You have to fulfill this step if you have not completed your previous degree at University of Cologne. KLIPS 2.0 manages your student data and provides the course catalogue. Here you have to register your modules and administer your exams.

Before handing in your documents for your enrolment personally or via post, you have to register in KLIPS 2.0. There you will be asked to apply for an “application-account”. Do not be unsettled by the application, this is just a registration which does not question your admission.

The steps in a nutshell:

• create an account
• chose "master registration" (Master Registrierung)
• fill in the requested information

Further instructions with can be found here!

3. Presenting the documents at the WiSo Student Service

After your admission, we need you to hand in certain documents at the WiSo Student Service.

Note that this has to take place before the enrolment deadline (indicated in your admission e-mail).

The enrolment/handing in of the documents can be made in person or via postal mail (not via e-mail!). We recommend, however, to be present in person in order to be able to clarify questions or additional requests right away.

You will find the WiSo Student Service here: 

The WiSo Student Service checks your documents for correctness and completeness and confirms this for the student registration office/international office. You will also receive your personal welcome gift at the WiSo Student Service.

If your documents are complete, you will receive a confirmation (a stamp on your admission letter) that you then have to present at the student registration office/international office. Important: At the student registration office you have to make an appointment for your enrolment. Make sure to schedule enough time for the period between the WiSo Student Service and the registration office/international office, since the process at the WiSo Student Service may require some waiting time.

At the WiSo Student Service, you have to provide the documents that you have uploaded in the application portal in the process of your application (no newer versions!) as originals or certified/notarised copies. Your documents will be returned to you after enrolment (exceptions: enrolment form, health insurance attestation).

A complete list of the required documents can be found here.

4. Enrolment at the student registration office/ international office

After handing in your documents at the WiSo Student Service you have to complete your enrolment at the student registration office/the international office (the sender of your admission e-mail indicates whether you need to provide the documents to the admission's office or to the international office). The enrollment for the second admission round at the student registration office will start from 2^nd september.

Here, the formal enrolment in the respective master course takes place. Please remember that this can only be done if you have visited the WiSo Student Service beforehand and received a confirmation. Additionally, you need to make an appointment with the registration office/the international office in advance. This can be done online (please see your admission e-mail for more information).
Note: If you have not completed your Bachelor (or equivalent) programme by the time of your application, your acceptance/enrolment is under the condition that you complete your studies in time.

Postal enrolment or sending an authorised person

If you are not able to conduct the enrolment in person, you can either name and authorise someone who does it for you or send us the required documents by post.

Authorisation

For someone else to enrol you, you have to issue an authorisation. An exemplary version of an authorisation can be found here. The enrolment by the authorised person has to take place before the enrolment deadline.

Postal enrolment

In this case, you need to send the complete documents to the WiSo Student Service. There, the documents will be checked and later handed over to the student registration office or the international office for completion of your enrolment. Do not send your documents seperately! All required documents have to be send in as authorised/notarised copies, simple copies do not suffice! (exceptions are the following documents, which can be send as simple copies: acceptance letter, passport, GMAT/GRE/TM-WISO result, document for the health ensurance, exmatriculation letter). You also need to send an envelope with your address and a stamp so that we can send you the enrolment documents back.

Please keep in mind that in this case you are entirely responsible for the arrival of the complete documents on the due date. Send all documents to this address:

Master Welcome-Days

In order for you to get to know your new study and living environment better, we invite you to our Master Welcome-Days which will take place on October 5th and 6th, 2016.
