As a rule, students complete a stay abroad at a university in a French- or Spanish-speaking country in their fifth semester. The University of Kassel offers students a wide range of options thanks to its extensive network of partnerships.
The topic of the Bachelor's thesis is issued at the beginning of the sixth semester at the earliest if the requirements specified in the examination regulations are met. The topic is chosen according to the student's own research interests and in close consultation with the chosen examiner. The thesis can be written in either German or French.
Key competencies enable students to acquire or deepen skills that are not directly related to the subject in order to complement their own profile. This can include intramural and/or extramural commitment, but also separate and designated courses at the University of Kassel, e.g. practical coordination workshops on project management or web editing.
