Study format

Forms often require the study format to be specified. The study format is derived from the structure of studies described in § 4 of the General Provisions for the Bachelor's and Master's examination regulations. There, the structure of studies is described as follows, based on the structures for bachelor's and master's degree programs:

Bachelor

  • One subject (Vollfach = VF) and one area of general studies (hereafter GS area) comprising 18–45 credit points.
  • Two subjects studied in the combination of major subject (120 credit points, including 18–45 credit points in the GS area and the bachelor's thesis) and minor subject (60 credit points).
  • Several subjects with a teaching option for a general teaching qualification, which are studied to the same extent or as a combination of larger and more fringe subjects. In each case, students complete a section of educational science and a bachelor's thesis (12 CP).
  • A first subject in Technical Vocational Education, which is studied in conjunction with a second subject (a school subject in general education) and a field of educational science or with educational science integrated into the first subject.

Master

  • Master's degree programs with a course load of 120 credit points usually consist of a single major subject. Notwithstanding sentence 1, Master's degree programs leading to a Master of Education degree consist of several subjects and an area of educational science.

This results in the following study formats:
