You’ll find the answers to these questions in the examination regulations and the course catalog - two important documents that will help you stay on top of your studies.
The examination regulations contain all legal provisions regarding exams. In the module catalog, you’ll find all the modules you must or may take during your studies. Be sure to read through everything at the start of your studies so you’re fully informed about your options. This is your tool for planning your studies from the very beginning.

Throughout your studies, you will take the preliminary exam and the midterm exam as part of your coursework.
By the end of the third semester, you must earn 54 ECTS credits from the first three semesters of the required curriculum to pass the preliminary exam.
You have passed the midterm exam if you have earned 90 ECTS from the required courses by the end of the fifth semester.
The elective area comprises a total of 36 ECTS credits and is divided into a corporate orientation and an educational orientation area. You choose one of the two tracks and focus your studies accordingly.
As part of your bachelor’s degree program, you must complete a 5-week mandatory internship at a company and a 2-week mandatory internship at a school. The school internship can only be completed in conjunction with the preparatory and follow-up seminar (VuNS) for the school practicum semester. If you wish to begin your teacher training after completing your master’s degree, you will need a total of 52 weeks of in-company internship.
As part of your degree program, you can spend time studying abroad. The University of Hohenheim maintains partnerships with other universities both within Europe - through the ERASMUS program - and overseas. You have the opportunity to have coursework you complete abroad recognized toward the modules in your degree program.
To International Experience
To Recognition of Foreign Academic Achievements
There is an assignment process to help you find a supervisor for your thesis. Two assignment procedures are offered each year: The first takes place in February for students registering for their thesis in the summer semester, and the second takes place in July for students registering for their thesis in the winter semester. The assignment process is conducted via ILIAS.
During your studies, you can participate in a wide variety of programs and courses that will help you learn new skills, explore your interests more deeply, and gain valuable experience. In addition to the regular curriculum, our university offers numerous opportunities to enrich your time as a student.
To provide you with the best possible support throughout your studies, we offer information sessions each semester on important topics - such as starting your studies, free elective area, studying abroad, and your thesis. You can attend the relevant session as soon as the topic becomes relevant to you.
