Certificate "Global Learning"

The Global Learning certificate programme addresses students enrolled in the 2-Fächer-Bachelor (mit/ohne Lehramtsoption), 1-Fach-Bachelor Erziehungswissenschaft, Lehramts-Master or the Master KTW as well as international students, who are interested in Education for Sustainable Development and would like to explore the topic and deepen their respective knowledge.

As all Global Learning courses will be taught in English, adequate language skills are recommended.

Note: To support students, lecturers will provide materials not only in English, but also in German when possible. However, this does not apply in general and can therefore not be expected for every course. (Non-)Graded coursework may be submitted in German if students prefer.

You can register for the Global Learning certificate programme at any time.

If you meet the registration requirements (see Target group, Requirements), please fill in and sign the registration form and send it to: global-learning(at)tu-braunschweig.de. If you prefer, you can also hand in your registration form in person at the certificate office. The registration form can be downloaded at the top of this page (see Downloads).

The Global Learning team will then inform you about your admission to the programme via e-mail. You will also be added to the Global Learning group on Stud.IP.

Note: The introductory course is currently only offered during the winter term. Consequently, the foundational area can only be completed in the winter term.

The courses offered for Global Learning each semester are listed in the guidelines and course portfolio (see Downloads). They are also marked as such in TU’s course catalogue.

The courses are offered either weekly or as block courses. The compulsory introductory course „Ankerveranstaltung P3: Introduction to Education for Sustainable Development“ is offered as an in-person course each winter term. Generally, three advanced courses are offered each semester.  

The practical project is an exception as it is largely self-directed learning. It is not part of a course; the individual projects are supervised by the certificate team. Therefore, there is no regular course for the practical area. Instead, please register in the Stud.IP group of the certificate under “participants” in one of the groups (“Practical project (A): Research project” / “Practical project (B): Action project”).

You can register for all courses via Stud.IP, where you can find available courses under their corresponding course titles.

Please remember that for each course you must have the routing slip signed by the lecturer conducting the course. Once you have completed the certificate programme, this routing slip, along with the eLogbook, is then submitted to the certificate team so that your certificate can be issued (see Certificate Issuance).

All participants will be notified via e-mail of any necessary information and current changes.
