Professional Development
(Module BA English Studies)
What are you supposed to do?
The most simple way:
- Work or do an internship or summer schools to the extent of 180 hours total (summation of different activities possible); no need for a direct connection to English Studies; if in doubt, ask me. Excursions and unpaid charity work are generally not accepted.
- Then register for Professional Development on Basis (new: extended registration phase throughout most of the semester); your Fachsemester doesn't matter.
- After you have been given the status "zugelassen" by Basis, send me (per e-mail) documentation which proves that you actually COMPLETED your activities (certificate by your employer etc.); just a work contract is NOT SUFFICIENT.
- Wait a few days and check your transcript on Basis; if you hear nothing from me, all should be okay and you should see your credits.
Teilnahmeverbuchungen for registrations older than approximately two semesters are no longer possible. So make sure to only register for Professional Development if you can actually hand in your documents in a timely fashion.
