Yes, unlike the ABV area, the grades from the LBW area are partially included in the calculation of the final Bachelor's grade for the Bachelor's degree with teaching option.

Yes. Furthermore, you have time to make this decision until you have completed both seminars.

Yes, both options are possible as long as both courses are offered at the same time. We recommend taking the introductory course first to get a basic overview. The Proseminar focuses on a specific topic and builds on the knowledge acquired in the introductory course.

For Bachelor's theses for English, please contact the subject-specific divisions.

The orientation internship is designed as a purely "observation internship," but if you get along well with the mentor at the school, it can be a valuable experience if you are allowed to stand in front of a class at this stage. It is best to discuss this with your mentor. However, interns are not allowed to teach without a "proper" teacher being present.

You can only apply for the Master of Education in the winter semester. The prerequisite is the completion of a Bachelor's degree for teaching at primary schools or ISS/Gymnasien. The application period is between 1 July and the 15 August in the summer semester.

If the Bachelor's degree certificate is not yet available at the time of application, the application for the Master's can also be submitted with the so-called 2/3 certificate. This is a forecast stating that all outstanding academic achievements will be completed by the end of the semester (30 September). Prerequisites for issuing the certificate: At least 2/3 of the total academic achievements must be graded, registration for the thesis is in place, and the start of work has been scheduled so that timely completion before the start of the Master's program is possible.

This results in provisional admission to the Master's program. This means that you must submit your Bachelor's degree certificate at the latest by the time of re-registration for the second semester of the Master's program. Otherwise, you will be exmatriculated unless you apply for a program change (downgrading to the Bachelor's program).

Further information on the 2/3 certificate is available on the pages of the Dahlem School of Education (DSE).

The final grade of your Bachelor's degree is a selection criterion for the Master of Education application. However, it is currently difficult to make definitive statements about a potential Numerus Clausus (N.C.).

The module "Fundamentals of English Didactics" consists of the introductory course and a proseminar. It is strongly recommended to take the introductory course first and then the proseminar. Typically, multiple parallel courses are offered each semester. The examination performance (term paper) for the entire module can be completed either in the introductory course or the proseminar. The submission deadline is after both parts of the module have been completed.

You must submit the term paper after successfully completing both seminars. The submission deadline is the beginning of the lecture period of the following semester (specifically: the end of the first lecture week). So, if you take the introductory course in the winter semester and the proseminar in the summer semester, the submission deadline will be at the beginning of the lecture period in the following winter semester.

The necessary admission requirements for registering the Bachelor's thesis can be found in the study and examination regulations of the respective Bachelor's program (major). The specific requirements, including the necessary number of credits, vary depending on the program. If you plan to apply for the Master's in Education for the next winter semester, 2/3 of all credits must be completed (see "How do I apply for the Master of Education?"). It is strongly recommended to have already registered the Bachelor's thesis by this point, as you must submit your Bachelor's degree certificate by the latest at the time of re-registration for the second semester of the Master's program, considering the time needed for the reviewers and the certificate issuance.
