You have to complete numerous modules as part of your Bachelor's degree programme. This includes the professionalisation module (PM) in the first year of study. In order to successfully complete this module, you must take three courses: Two English courses and one course from the action-related competences.
To participate in the English course of the PM, you must first take a placement test and achieve at least level B2. The dates scheduled by the Language Centre for this take place before the official start of lectures. The exact dates will be announced on the Language Centre website.
It is important to enrol as early as possible, as the available courses may fill up very quickly. If the scheduled courses are already fully booked, please contact the Language Centre in any case.
Attention:
English courses for students in the Bachelor of Social Sciences
Graduates of the placement test who score below B2 cannot yet take the English courses as part of the PM. In this case, they must take a language course corresponding to the level in order to prove the B2 language level in the course of their studies and to be able to take the two B2 language courses required for the module. These are: 1) either "Grammar Refresher B2" or "English for University Studies B2" or "Reading and Writing B2" and 2) English for Social Scientists B2. One of the courses under 1) must always be passed before attending 2).
Graduates of the placement test who are graded B2 or reach this level after attending the course can attend the English courses as part of the PM. These are:
1) either "Grammar Refresher B2" or "English for University Studies B2" or "Reading and Writing B2" and
2) "English for Social Scientists B2".
One of the courses under 1) must always be passed before attending 2).
Graduates of the placement test with level C1 and higher do not have to attend a general English course before attending the English course of the PM ("English for Social Scientists C1C2"). After passing this course, you will receive the credits allocated to the course. However, we still recommend that you attend further English courses.
