To top of pageForeign language skills
On all Bachelor programs, it is generally assumed that students have a sufficient active and passive knowledge of English, which enables them to attend lectures in English, read English literature, and attend courses conducted in English. In some subjects, additional subject-specific linguistic skills are required, which students must usually demonstrate by the end of the third or fourth semesters.The language skills are specified in the subject appendix to the examination regulations for the two-subject Bachelor's degree program. You can also find this information on the outline for the individual subjects. Students who do not have the required foreign language skills can acquire them on courses at the Foreign Language Center or the relevant departments. It is recommended that students register for these courses early, as demand is high.
The Latin and/or Greek knowledge required for some majors can be acquired on courses offered by the Department of Classical Philology.
Study and examination regulations
Die Rechtsgrundlage für die Zwei-Fächer-Bachelorstudiengänge an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität bildet die 'Ordnung für die Prüfung im Zwei-Fächer-Bachelorstudiengang'.Im fachspezifischen Anhang der Prüfungsordnung finden Sie die Modulstruktur (Pflicht-, Wahlpflicht- und Aufbaumodule) der einzelnen Studienfächer.
Scope and nature of the Bachelor's examination
The Bachelor's examination consists of the following performance components:
1. the course-related module examinations for the major and minor
2. the written Bachelor's thesis for the major
3. the final oral examination for the major
There is usually no final oral examination for the minor. The grades in the major and minor are calculated from the arithmetic mean of the module examination scores, which are weighted according to the assigned credit points. The overall grade for the Bachelor's examination is normally calculated from the arithmetic mean of the major grade, the minor grade, the grade for the Bachelor's thesis and the grade for the final oral examination, whereby the grades are weighted according to the assigned credit points.
Exceptions to the rule are specified in the examination regulations.
Standard period of study, credit points, and deadlines
The standard period of study including the time taken to complete the Bachelor's thesis and subsequent Bachelor examination is 3 years (6 semesters).The total semester hours per week is usually max. 80 for modules in the major and max. 40 for those in the minor. To successfully complete the course of study, students must document completion of a total of 180 credit points:
1. in the major modules: 100 to 109 CP
2. in the minor modules: 60 CP
3. in the Bachelor's thesis: 6 to 12 CP
4. in the oral examination: at least 5 CP
The exact number of credit points depends on the choice of subjects in the major and can be found in the subject-specific appendix to the examination regulations.
Each credit point equals about 30 hours of student work.
In the interest of observing the standard period of study, the program is tightly organized.
Therefore, students are expected to earn the following number of credit points during the course of study:
1. after the first study year at least 15 CP
2. after the second study year at least 54 CP
3. after the third study year at least 108 CP
4. after the forth study year at least 135 CP
5. after the fifth study year at least 162 CP
If students cannot follow this plan, they must seek academic counseling to clarify how they can still reach the minimum credit points before the end of the following semester.
