About German Studies as subject in the Interdisciplinary Bachelors Degree Programme (Bachelor of Arts)

Students embark on the degree programme with the basic modules L 1 Introduction to Literary Studies and S 1 Introduction to Linguistics. An overview lecture with an accompanying seminar is offered in L 1, and a four-hour seminar in S 1. Building on this knowledge, students learn the foundations of literary history and grammar in L 2 and S 2. Teaching methodology is taken in module D1 from the 3rd semester, divided into an introduction to literature and language teaching. Compulsory elective modules L 3 to L 5 and S 3 to S 7 on individual aspects of literature and linguistics can also be studied from the 3rd semester. Students choose which compulsory elective modules to take individually, depending on whether German Studies is taken as a first or second subject or with an emphasis on school-based or non-school-based teaching. These courses are flanked by professional skills development involving the compulsory module Key Transferable Skills as well as Education/Psychology in the teacher training part and four weeks of general practical training. If German Studies is the first subject, the Bachelor thesis follows in the 6th semester. As part of the interdisciplinary bachelor's degree programme, students with a focus on teaching have to complete a non-school-based internship as well as a school internship, both lasting four weeks. The non-school-based internship helps students to get first work insights in the area of teaching, to check on their career aspiration. For students with an non-school-based focus, an eight-week non-school-based internship must be completed.
