As part of your Bachelor's degree programme, you have to complete numerous modules. This includes the Professionalisation Module (PM) in the first year. To successfully complete this module, you must take three courses: two English courses and one soft-skills course from the action-related competences.
You must register for the language courses according to your language level. If you do not know your language level, you can use online placement tests from publishers.
Please note that your learning progress depends largely on choosing the right language level.
Allocation logic for English courses for students in the Bachelor's programme in Social Sciences
Students at language level B2 can attend the English courses as part of the PM. These are:
1) either "Grammar Refresher B2" or "Reading and Writing B2" and
2) "English for Social Scientists B2/C1".
One of the courses under 1) must always be passed before attending 2).
Students at C1 level and above do not need to take a general English course before taking the PM's English course. ("English for Social Scientists B2/C1"). Please note that this is only possible if you have previously taken a placement test at the Language Centre. To take a placement test, please contact Laura Becker as early as possible (laura.becker(at)tu-braunschweig.de)
Students whose language level is below B2 cannot yet take the English courses as part of the PM. In this case, they must take a language course that corresponds to their level (e.g. English B1.1 or B1.2) in order to be able to take the two language courses required for the module at B2 level during their studies (see above).
Please note: If you have completed the ‘English for Social Scientists’ course at language level C1 or above, please register with the Examinations Office once you have passed the course so that the credits for the general language course can be awarded to you.
