As part of your bachelor's degree program, you must complete numerous modules. One of them is the Professionalization Module (PM) in the first year of study. To successfully complete this module, you must take three courses: Two English courses and one course from the action-related competencies.
To participate in the PM English course, you must first take a placement test and reach at least proficiency level B2. The dates scheduled by the Language Center for this purpose take place before the official start of lectures. The exact dates will be announced in good time on the Language Center's website.
It is important to enroll as early as possible, as the available courses may be filled very quickly. If the scheduled courses are already fully booked, please contact the Language Center 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 in the PM. In this case, they must take a language course equivalent to the level in order to demonstrate B2 language proficiency during the course of their studies and to be able to take the two language courses required for the module at B2. 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 taking 2).
Graduates of the placement test who place at B2 or reach this level after attending courses can take the English courses in 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 need to attend a general English course before attending the PM English course ("English for Social Scientists C1C2"). They will receive the credits attributed to the course after passing this course. However, we still recommend taking other English courses.
