More information regarding admission requirements

Admission requirements

Applicants must provide proof of professional experience in the form of a work placement lasting six weeks.

Applicants who are qualified as a state-approved educator or who have equivalent vocational training (e.g. state-approved remedial educator), are accredited with 40 credit points and can thus begin the degree course in the third semester. The regular duration of studies is thus shortened to 7 semesters (= 3.5 years) including the Bachelor’s thesis.

Further information is provided on the degree course website.
