Students of Grund-, Mittel- and Realschule do not need any further modules for the degree program! In-depth modules are provided as constrained elective modules for Gymnasium students.
In-depth modules (5th & 6th semester after completing advanced modules)
The constrained elective modules DEU-M 360 (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible) (LA GY) and DEU-M 370 (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible) (LA GY) are available for the teacher training program Gymnasium.
Two constrained elective modules must be completed for the teacher training program in German for Gymnasium; one of these can be taken in German linguistics.
The type of module depends on the choice of the compulsory in-depth module in Modern German Literature.
If the module DEU-M 160 (term paper and oral examination) is taken there, this results in DEU-M 270 (Older German Literature) or DEU-M 370 (German Linguistics)
If the module DEU-M 170 (term paper only) is taken in Modern German Literature, this results in DEU-M 260 (Medieval German Literature) or DEU-M 360 (German Linguistics)
