Bachelor’s Thesis

To complete the bachelor’s degree of the Teacher Training program, you need to submit one bachelor’s thesis in each teaching subject and/or specialization. This means that, if one of your subjects is English, you need to write one bachelor's thesis in English. This thesis is written as part of a course but nonetheless in addition to all the other course work. The course instructor is also your thesis supervisor.

You can choose to write your bachelor's thesis in one the following courses:

  • PS Amerikastudien I
  • PS Amerikastudien II
  • PS Anglistische Literaturwissenschaft
  • PS Anglistische Cultural Studies
  • PS Der Gebrauch des Englischen als Zweit- und Drittsprache
  • PS Deskriptive und angewandte englische Sprachwissenschaft

Please note: It is important to ask the course instructors whether they can supervise your thesis. You can do this via email before the semester starts or during the first course session.

A bachelor's thesis is 20 to 27 pages (double-spaced, from "Introduction" to "Conclusion") in length and is equivalent to 5 ECTS-credits. Theses must be written in English and include the "Declaration of Academic Integrity" ("Eidesstattliche Erklärung)." 

The thesis supervisor will assess your thesis according to the official criteria ("Kriterien für Bachelorarbeiten PhilKult") and submit a combined grade for your thesis and the course. Make sure to send the completed form "Proof of bachelor's thesis" ("Nachweis über die Bachelorarbeit") along with your thesis, which your thesis supervisor will submit to the "Prüfungsreferat."

The thesis has to have a cover page that includes the following information: student name, student registration number, name of the course instructor, course title, semester of course attendance, and date of submission.

For information regarding citation style, formatting, submission deadlines, and the like, contact your thesis supervisor and follow their instructions precisely. 

If your supervisor assesses your thesis as insufficient (5 – Nicht Genügend), you must enroll in a suitable course (see above) and write and submit a new thesis.
