Please enclose the seminar application sheet, a curriculum vitae and a current overview of our services with your application.

Please submit your application to Heike Adler-Dinglinger or send it to: sekretariat.fin (at) wiwinf.uni-due.de

Important note:

The application for a seminar paper is only possible after successful completion of the test in the Moodlekurs.

To prepare for the final test, we have created a learning module in the same Moodlekurs. After successful completion of the test, further areas in the Moodlekurs will be unlocked for you. There you will also get access to the necessary application forms and other useful information.

If you are already enrolled in one of our Moodlekurs, you are also admitted to the Moodlekurs "Scientific Work at the Chair of Financing" via the meta-enrollment. If you have already written a scientific paper at our chair once, you do not need to take the test again. In this case or if you have problems accessing the Moodle Course, please contact our secretariat (sekretariat.fin (at) wiwinf.uni-due.de) for manual enrollment or if you have any questions regarding the course content, please contact our support team (Hilfskraefte.FIN (at) wiwinf.uni-due.de).

With kind regards

Your FIN Team
