Training modules are a mandatory part of the Bachelor's degree programme. They offer students the opportunity to

• to review their career motivation, their career choice and their competences with regard to the professional field and to gain suggestions for the further design of their studies/their further professional training;
• familiarise themselves with the specific requirements and possible courses of action in relevant occupational fields;
• to deal in depth with specific problems in a professional field and to apply knowledge and competences already acquired during their studies in a theoretically reflected manner.

As part of the area of specialisation, students complete one or two training modules worth a total of 15 credit points (CP). The training modules combine internships with courses on preparation, supervision and evaluation. Training modules consist of the internship (practical time; 3 to 12 CP) and an accompanying course (3 CP).

The training modules ‘Orientation Internship’ (prx101) and ‘Career-Related Placements’ (prx106, prx107 and prx108) are coordinated and offered by the individual subjects. For the subject of Sports Science, these training modules are offered in the summer semester.

Students aiming for a career outside the school system complete the training modules in professional fields relevant to their intended degree (in the Sport Science programme, these are the fields of sport and health).

Students aiming for a career in the school sector undertake the orientation internship in fields of work outside the school sector (in the Sport Science programme, these should correspondingly be activities in the fields of sport and health). These may include: educational institutions (non-school sector, e.g. early years education), social education or other social institutions, businesses/companies, service and cultural institutions, clubs or similar organisations, church parishes or similar organisations. Students aiming to become primary school teachers may also undertake the orientation internship in a pre-school setting.

It is recommended to complete internships abroad in accordance with the implementation regulations of the subjects or the special provisions for the individual teaching specialisations. Students aiming to become primary school teachers or secondary school teachers are strongly recommended to complete internships abroad during their Bachelor's degree programme, as the practical phase or practical block in the corresponding Master of Education degree programmes cannot be completed abroad.

Under certain conditions, practical work already completed can be recognised.

The complete module prx101 Orientation Internship amounting to 6 CP (practical period, accompanying course and examination) can be credited if proof of completed training in a state-recognised training occupation can be provided.

Crediting of the practical period of 3 CP in the module prx101 Orientation Internship or prx106 Professional Field-Related Internship (participation in the corresponding accompanying course is nevertheless mandatory) is possible if one of the following activities, which should be related to sport or health , can be demonstrated:

• At least three months of full-time work or a three-month full-time internship in businesses/companies or other institutions
• At least one year of independent leadership of a youth group (e.g. in a sports club) or a corresponding voluntary activity
• Successfully completed Federal Voluntary Service, Voluntary Social Year, Voluntary Ecological Year or Voluntary Scientific Year

Any crediting is done via an informal proposal to A signed certificate from the employer or organisation is required, stating the content of the activity, the weekly working hours and the period of employment. In addition, the document Bescheinigung über die Ableistung eines Praktikums.pdf must also be submitted (please only fill in the text fields highlighted in blue in text block 1 and sign the pdf document digitally; please do not scan the document so that it can be processed digitally).

Credit for the training modules prx107 and prx108 is not possible.

The training modules are assessed in accordance with BPO Annex 3 E.2.

Dr Katharina Pöppel and Dr Alexandra Janetzko are authorised to conduct examinations in the training modules during the summer semester of 2026.
