Applicants with a first state examination for the teaching profession at elementary school or for the teaching profession at Hauptschulen and Realschulen can be admitted to an extension examination in the subject GFL after completing the WBSP GFL at the University of Kassel, regardless of their subjects in the First State Examination.

Applicants with a first state examination for the Teaching profession at grammar schools can only be admitted to an extension examination after completing the WBSP DaFZ at the University of Kassel if one of their subjects in the First State Examination is German or a modern foreign language.
