At the end of the teaching session ALL participants will take an obligatory test (Leistungsüberprüfung) covering the syllabus (late June / early July 2020).
Passing this test (Leistungsüberprüfung) is a prerequisite for the successful completion of this course and the respective entry into our electronic study management system JOGUSTINE.
Important advice on (later) applications for an exchange place at one of our partner universities in GB and IRL (Start: late Nov./early Dec., 2020)
When we select applicants / nominees for exchange places in GB und IRL we pay particular attention to, among others, the two following important criteria:
1.
their marks (even if course instructors can enter "pass" or "fail" only in Jogustine)
2.
at which stage of their studies applicants have completed the modules Fremdsprachliche Kompetenz AND Translatorische Kompetenz.
In other words:
We pay particular attention to the question with how much systematic determination the applicants have pursued their studies up to the point of their application.
