Transition from the combined bachelor's degree to the Master of Education

In addition to the information on admission to the Master of Education, the following should be noted for the transition from the combined bachelor's degree to the Master of Education for the timely completion of the Bachelor's degree programme:

Four examination offices (primary school teaching degree and primary school teaching degree with integrated special education) or three examination offices (other types of teaching degree) are involved in the finalisation of the degree.
All required coursework must have been completed in each version of degree programme.
The Bachelor's thesis must be registered and submitted on time

Please note: The assessment of (final) theses before the end of the six-week correction period or the issuing of a pass certificate ("4.0 certificate") is always at the discretion of the teaching staff. Teaching staff are not obliged to do so and may refuse such requests.

The Bachelor's thesis has a review period of six weeks. This also applies to other module examinations.
Processing times for final documents in the examination offices.
Holiday periods during the lecture-free period.
It is expected that a larger number of students will want to complete the Bachelor's degree programme, so that an increased demand at examination offices, student counselling services, etc. is to be expected.

Students are therefore advised to contact the examination offices and the first and second examiners in good time.

For BAföG recipients, the last (personal) work to be completed (Bachelor's thesis, module examination or coursework) should not be submitted before the beginning of August (if completing the Bachelor's degree programme in the summer semester) or before the beginning of February (if completing the Bachelor's degree programme in the winter semester) in order to be able to receive BAföG in the last two months of the Bachelor's degree programme. To be on the safe side, please contact your examination office.
