Is the degree program admission restricted?
The Bachelor's degree course in German Studies at the University of Kassel has no admission restrictions, but German Studies for Teachers does. However, this depends on the applicants each year. In 2018, this restriction was a grade point average of 2.8. You can always check the current grade point average for recent years on this page!
When do I have to apply for admission?
There is a wide application period for other subjects, but as German Studies for Teaching is an NC course, you must apply by 15 July each year! This means that you can only start your studies in the winter semester.
Which books do I need and do I have to get them before I start studying?
Don't worry - you won't have to read a new book every quarter like you did at school and you don't need to memorize every work by Goethe or Schiller. This is entirely up to you: If you take reading seminars (e.g. directly on the subject of "Faust"), you will of course need the appropriate works, and some courses also include several readings. However, if your seminar deals with radio plays, older German literature, etc., you can safely leave Faust at home.
