The “Intercultural Education and Counselling” degree programme at the university still has a few places available for the winter semester: migrants who have started or completed a degree in education or the social sciences in their countries of origin can still apply until the end of the month.
This further education degree programme can be completed whilst working and leads to the academic degree of “Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)”. The aim of the programme is to impart practical skills for careers in educational fields within a migrant society and to combine theoretical foundations with practical knowledge. The qualification prepares graduates for roles in social work and education, educational and youth work, refugee or school social work, in cultural institutions and labour market integration.
Students can have two semesters of their studies recognised in their country of origin and enrol for a further four semesters in Oldenburg. Entry requirements include not only a school-leaving qualification that entitles the holder to enter higher education, but also proof of at least two years’ experience in an educational role – whether professional or voluntary. The application procedure takes place online via uni-assist e.V., the service centre for international university applications. Further information is available from the programme coordinator, Andrea Hertlein, at the Institute of Educational Sciences.
