IT-Certificate for Bachelor, Master & PhD students
Where Theory Meets Practice
The IT certificate consists of four modules with a strong focus on practical application. In the seminars, students acquire not only theoretical foundations but also hands-on skills that can be applied directly.
- Advanced IT Basics
- Advanced Web Basics
- Tools & Methods in DH
- Digital Objects
A particularly effective structure has been to take Advanced IT Basics and Advanced Web Basics in the same semester, followed by Tools & Methods and Digital Objects in the next.
KLIPS registration
Registrations for all seminars are always made via KLIPS. They are easy to find using the search term
IT-Zertifikat under Search / Courses and specifying the summer or winter semester.
The seminars can also be found in the Studium Integrale (BA) and Extracurricular Programmes (EA) under IT Competencies C, D, E and F.
If you are unable to register in KLIPS in this way, please come to the first session anyway and talk to the lecturers! This also applies to all students who have received an automatic rejection from KLIPS.
If you have any questions, you can send an e-mail to it-zertifikatPhilFak@uni-koeln.de at any time. Thank you for your interest.
| Target group: | All students of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Cologne are welcome to participate. Students from other faculties are also invited to attend the seminars and earn the IT Certificate of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. |
| Requirements: | Participants should have solid basic computer skills (general computer literacy) and be open to exploring new areas of computer application. |
| Scope: | Each of the four modules comprises two teaching hours per week and is offered weekly. To receive credit (Studienleistung), regular and active participation is required. Depending on the seminar, this may also include a presentation, project work or a written exam. |
| Recommended Order of Courses: | Although it is possible to take all four seminars at the same time, it is recommended to start with Advanced IT Basics and Advanced Web Basics, either one after the other or simultaneously depending on your prior knowledge, and then continue with Tools & Methods and Digital Objects |
| Assessment: | All seminars are individually graded. However, grades are not visible in KLIPS, as the Studium Integrale does not include grades in its records. Grades will appear on participation certificates and on the final certificate (calculated as the average of all four module grades). Final results can be found on ILIAS. |
| Certificate / Participation Confirmation: | We are happy to issue participation certificates for successfully completed individual seminars. The IT Certificate of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities will be issued upon request once all four modules have been successfully completed. Order form. |
