The content on this page was translated automatically.

The certificate "International SPIRIT" is an offer that certifies students an international profile formation in the bachelor program of social work through the participation in language courses, internationally oriented courses and other activities. The achievements are usually acquired within the standard Bachelor curriculum.

The basis of the study program is the "SPIRIT model":


  • You will complete one examination credit in the area of foreign language competencies as well as one study credit with international relevance in module S.
  • In addition, you must complete two credits in partiallyinternationalcourses (in modules 2-8). Partially international courses do not necessarily have an overall international content, but have at least two individual terms with an international reference. Course credits relate thematically to these individual terms.
  • Additional credits are earned in purelyinternationalcourses: these are one examination credit (in modules 5-8) and one study credit (in modules 2-8). Purely international courses have a consistent international focus.
  • Internships abroad, international excursions as well as semesters abroad are optional further partial achievements. They are not a condition for obtaining the certificate, but are listed separately in it, provided that corresponding activities have taken place.

Acquisition of the certificate

On the basis of the certificate regulations, you will receive a study book in which you enter your successfully completed achievements (4 SL + 2 PL) and have them signed by the respective teacher. As soon as the study book is complete, you will receive the certificate "International SPIRIT". This certificate lists the above-mentioned study and examination achievements.
