First of all, you should get an overview of the recommended course of study for your subjects and for the area of specialisation/educational science for the teaching profession. The study programme plans are suitable for this. They provide recommendations as to which modules should be chosen in which order and in which semester.

However, you should bear in mind that study plans are idealised courses that allow for individual deviations. As soon as the basic modules have been completed, there are further options for the further course of study in most subjects. In other words: In reality, most degree programmes do not run exactly according to the plan of the study plan, so don't get stressed.

You will need 3 study plans - a study plan for subject A and a study plan for subject B as well as a study plan for educational sciences. For example, if you are studying German and English Studies with the career goal of becoming a secondary school teacher, you will need the study plans for the B.A. in German Studies, the B.A. in English Studies and the appropriate area of specialisation. You can find the study plans for your subjects here. Study plans for the area of specialisation (Bachelor) and the Biwi area (Master) can be found here.

**Alternatively via search engine: "Uni Oldenburg [subject] Studienverlaufsplan" (Attention: For search results, always select the study plan with the most recent date!)

For subject-specific questions, please contact the relevant student body.

Dual-subject Bachelor’s degree

To complete your degree within the standard period of study, it is recommended that you earn 30 credit points (CP) per semester. You earn credit points by successfully completing modules. For first-year students, however, it is a good idea to take things a bit easier in the first semester and choose a few more modules in the second semester.

Please note that core modules must always be taken before advanced modules. Furthermore, some modules are only offered in the winter semester or the summer semester. For compulsory-choice modules, study plans often display abbreviations indicating which modules you can choose from.

In the first semester, focus as much as possible on the core modules for your subjects. In the area of specialisation, only the module biw210 ‘Socialisation – Upbringing – Education’ is recommended for the first semester. However, if you have already earned 30KP through the core modules of your subjects recommended for the first semester, you may choose to take biw210 at a later stage.

Master of Education

In the first Master’s semester, in addition to the compulsory-elective modules in your subjects and the modules in the educational sciences area, you should also bear in mind the registration periods for internships. If you need advice, please email us or take part in our online office hours.

You can find the Stud IP help here

Each module consists of courses, all of which must be completed in order to receive credits for the module. On Stud IP under Studies > My courses > Overview of study modules you can get a list of the modules you can choose from. You can use the left-hand bar to select between your subjects:

By clicking on the blue symbol next to a module, you will open a window with a module description in which you can view further information (e.g. requirements and examination results). If you click directly on the module title, a list of the courses that can be selected for the module will open. Clicking on a course opens a new tab with information about the course.

The real art of putting together a timetable is to coordinate the dates of the courses with each other. Lectures usually only take place once a week. In most modules, however, you must also choose from a list of seminars/exercises. For tutorials, please check the module description to see whether they are voluntary or compulsory.

To register, click on Access to the course.

It is also possible to pre-book courses in the timetable in order to register later.

The display of possible overlaps is also helpful.

In the event description there is a note as to whether registration is on a first-come, first-served basis or by lot. Both procedures will now be briefly explained.

The first-come, first-served system

Registration is activated at a specific time. The rule here is: first come, first served! For larger degree programmes, you should therefore be at your PC at the right time and click on "Access to the course". It is helpful to make a note of the courses in your timetable for this procedure

The lottery procedure

You have the opportunity to create a prioritised list within a specified period of time. It makes no difference whether you are sitting in front of your PC at 8 a.m. or 3 p.m., for example, as long as you complete the prioritised list within the specified period.

Click on "Access to event" to open a window in which you can drag and drop events to the right-hand side and arrange them from top to bottom to create a list of first requests, second requests, etc. You should prioritise as many events as possible. You should prioritise as many events as possible, as the allocation is based on a digital algorithm. This means that if your first choice is cancelled, your second choice will be checked and so on. Don't forget to click on "save"! You can still change your list during the registration period if necessary.
