Lateral entry: Admission with a Bachelor's degree in a subject area

In principle, lateral entry is possible on the basis of a purely technical Bachelor's degree (e.g. nursing or physiotherapy). Selection interviews lasting 30 minutes are held on the following topics:

(1) Educational experience from school internships and, if applicable, extracurricular activities
(2) Topic and work on the Bachelor's thesis and scientific findings from the Bachelor's degree program
(3) Job description of a teacher in the health profession

A total of 9 points can be achieved in the interview, up to 3 points in each area. 5 points are required for admission.

If the requirements have already been met on the basis of written application documents, the selection interview can be waived.

If prerequisites are missing, the allowance can be granted under the following condition: The graduate completes certain Bachelor's modules up to the Master's module with a maximum of 60 credits

Example of a lateral entry with a Bachelor's degree in Public Health

Example of lateral entry with a Bachelor's degree in Public Health:

The Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences can be recognized as a first subject in Health. Pedagogical aptitude is confirmed with a letter of motivation and, if necessary, a preliminary interview. The student must then study the following modules in addition to the modules in the Master's degree program as well as certain modules from the Bachelor's degree. These include modules from the core vocational education course, the didactics of health and all modules from the second subject:

Module or course

Credits

Module 2 Teaching, Learning Teaching

6

Module 4 Shaping and developing schools and educational institutions

6

Didactics of Health II + SPS II

10

All modules of the selected second subject from the Bachelor's degree

34

Total

56


In this case, just under 60 credits would have to be made up. In the case of full-time study, approximately one semester must be calculated for every 30 credits. In this case, the course of study is therefore likely to be extended by one year (if studying part-time alongside a job, it will be correspondingly longer.)
