General Studies Elective (certificate in English)
The Certificate General Studies Elective embraces all General Studies lectures in English and is thus targeted at students who would like to both widen their horizon and practice their English skills.
Type and scope of the required course work:
- Participation in two English-language seminars and the ‘Jean Monnet Circle Seminar – How does the European Union work?’
Performance records:
- one ungraded certificate of attendance ( 2 CP; acquired in the Jean Monnet Circle Seminar);
- Two graded certificates (each 3 CP; acquired by a presentation throughout the seminar or a written essay). Certificate in total: 8 CP.
Option 1: Across subject areas
Students can choose seminars from the entire General Studies programme and follow their individual interests. The certificate requires participation in three seminars out of three different subject areas of the General Studies programme. Additionally, students are required to participate regularly in the ‘Jean Monnet Circle Seminar – How does the European Union work?’ (each winter term).
Option 2: Subject focus
(This option is currently only possible in combination with German seminars. As we extend our English offer, this option will be offered entirely in English in future.)
The General Studies Programme is structured in five subject areas:
- People & Society
- Nature & Technology
- Media & Culture
- Economy &Law
- Politics & Globalisation
Students choose one of the subject areas as their focus area and participate in three seminars offered in this field.
Additionally, students are required to participate regularly in the ‘Jean Monnet Circle Seminar – How does the European Union work?’ (each winter term).
