Here you will find some examples of questions about the co-operation HB-OL - all about studying and teaching. These questions will be added to and completed on an ongoing basis. If you have any questions of your own that you think should be published here, please send them to us.

1) Do I need to apply to or enrol at the University of Bremen as well?

No, you only need to apply to the university you wish to regard as your home university. The admissions procedure will then be handled internally. You will also only need to enrol at your home university.

You may receive your University of Bremen login details after a slight delay.

2) How do I gain access to the University of Bremen’s e-learning courses?

The University of Bremen’s courses can be accessed via StudIP Bremen.
Once you have received your login details from the University of Bremen, you can log in directly via StudIP Bremen.

If you initially only have the login details for your home university in Oldenburg, you can use the ‘Shibboleth Login’ via StudIP Bremen with your OL-StudIP ID.
Further information can be found on this page: FAQ: Stud.IP – University of Bremen (uni-bremen.de)

3) How do I enrol for courses at the University of Bremen?

At the University of Bremen, registration for courses is usually carried out via StudIP, whilst registration for examinations is done via pabo – Bremen Online Examinations Office. To access pabo, students use their student ID number, which is included in their semester documents. Students also need passwords, PINs and TANs. These will be sent to them by post a few weeks after the start of the semester.

Otherwise: Use the course overview to find the courses you wish to enrol in. You will then need to copy the so-called VAK number and paste it into StudIP (see question no. 2) under ‘Courses’. Then proceed as usual in StudIP and enrol for the course.

4) How do I register for exams at the University of Bremen?

Using the electronic examination management system pabo , students can register for and withdraw from exams online (please note: registration and withdrawal periods vary in Bremen – there are general timeframes!). Students can view their academic progress and check their exam results online. The necessary passwords and PIN/TAN numbers are sent by post to all newly enrolled students. If you change your subject, your original PIN/TAN numbers remain the same. The only thing that may change is the relevant Examinations Office or administrative office.

5) Do I have to follow any other regulations in addition to the Oldenburg examination regulations ?

Yes, in conjunction with the examination regulations of the University of Oldenburg, there are specific regulations governing the co-operation programme for both the two-subject Bachelor’s degree and the Master of Education. These can be found at the top of this page.

6) Which Examinations Office issues a certificate for my academic achievements in the cooperation subject in Bremen? Where can I obtain my transcripts and certificates?

The Bremen Examinations Office (ZPA) manages all your academic achievements in the cooperation subject. You will also receive a summary of your grades there. If you have made Oldenburg your home university, you will receive the final documents (certificate and transcript) from us. The modules from both universities are listed on the Transcript of Records (attached to the degree certificate).

Students at their home university in Oldenburg should contact the Didactic Centre (DiZ) at the University of Oldenburg for assignment to schools. For students at the home university in Bremen, the Centre for Teacher Training (ZfLB) at the University of Bremen is responsible.

1) How do I register for the school internships during my (co-operation) studies?

For students of the (home) University of Oldenburg, registration and assignment to schools is organised by the Centre for Teacher Education - Didactic Centre (DiZ). For students of the (home) University of Bremen, the Centre for Teacher Education (ZfLB) of the University of Bremen is responsible.

2) Why can students on the Master of Education degree programme with the Gymnasium school type at the University of Oldenburg not choose where they complete the prx530 specialist internship and prx536 research and development internship?

Due to the different structures of the Master of Education degree programmes at both locations, only the prx530 specialist internship is possible in the cooperation subject.
Students at the (home) University of Oldenburg must complete the preparatory and accompanying courses for prx530 at the University of Bremen and the preparatory and accompanying seminar for prx536 at the University of Oldenburg. Both internships, prx530 and prx536, take place in one period at one school. Students must register for both internships via the DiZ according to the registration times.

3) What should I bear in mind when looking for a school for the prx530 specialist internship and prx536 research and development internship in the cooperative study programme?

It is possible to search for a school for the prx530 specialist internship and prx536 research and development internship yourself after consultation with the responsible lecturer in the cooperative study programme.
Please note: Since the school you search for yourself must be located outside the allocation areas of the universities of Oldenburg, Osnabrück and Bremen, you may have to travel long distances. This makes it more difficult for lecturers to visit you at the school during your internship.
It is therefore essential that you speak to your lecturer about reasonable distances before starting your self-search! Ideally, the school you are looking for should be in the Bremen area.
If you are looking for a school yourself as part of the cooperative study programme, please always contact the responsible administrator at the DiZ.

What should I bear in mind when studying a foreign language as part of the co-operation?

The University of Bremen's regulations for studying abroad apply to the co-operation subjects French Romance Studies/French and Hispanic Studies/Spanish. The stay abroad covers a period of 4 months.

Further information can be obtained from the Department of Romance Studies at the University of Bremen.

Can I write my thesis in a cooperative subject at the University of Bremen?

It is possible to write both your Bachelor's and Master's thesis in a cooperative subject at the University of Bremen. Please note the relevant notes in the respective regulations and talk to your lecturers at the University of Bremen in advance.

You must register for the thesis at your home university.
