All academic achievements you make in the course of your studies are recorded in the electronic Examination Management.
This explanatory video will help you get started with Examination Management.
What the Examination Management can do, how you can move academic achievements to another module, why some courses appear in the Examination Management but not others, and much more can be found in the explanations of the Examination Management.
If you have technical questions about Examination Management, please contact the BIS team.
If you have questions about specific course bookings, please contact the relevant examination office.
- Repeatability of tests
- The BiWi import
Background
The occupational practice studies (BPSt) as a Bielefeld version of the internship in the occupational field is located in the Modules of the study programme variants in educational sciences, but for historical and content-related reasons it is offered at Bielefeld University mainly by the didactics of the subjects. The Faculties that are responsible for the subjects therefore export their BPSt courses to the Faculty of Educational Science, which is responsible for the study programme variants in Educational Science. In compensation for this teaching export from the subjects, the Faculty of Educational Science compiles a course pool each semester as an offering for the subject didactics modules, which the subjects import. This event pool forms the BiWi import.
The BiWi import - What is it?
Every semester, the Faculty of Educational Science compiles a course pool as an offer for the subject didactics modules of the subjects, which the subjects import, the so-called BiWi-Import.
What do I have to consider for the BiWi import?
As a rule, each subject in a module has a BiWi import. Since at least two subjects are studied, you must consequently study several BiWi imports. It is important here that you attend a separate course for each designated BiWi import. It is not possible to use an academic achievement twice. In some cases, courses from the BiWi import are also used in modules of the study programme variants educational sciences in addition to the subject didactics modules. Again, you need a separate academic achievement for each module.
You can decide for yourself which BiWi import you want to use in which module. You can make the assignment yourself in the Examination Management. To do this, use the editing function "Edit assignment" for the specific academic achievement.
What do I need to consider when creating the schedule?
In order to be considered for the allocation of places, you must include the desired courses in the timetable by the deadline (the Faculty of Educational Science will inform you of this by e-mail). This also applies to the courses of the BiWi import. As usual, you add the desired courses of the BiWi import to the timetable and then prioritize them.
When allocating places, every effort is made to ensure that each* student receives a BiWi import type course. To increase the likelihood of obtaining a seat in a BiWi import type course, you may include as many courses as possible. You should plan the various BiWi imports for the different Modules of the subjects and, if applicable, educational sciences over several semesters, since there is usually exactly one BiWi import type course available per student.
- Transition BA - M.Ed.
Transition from the combined bachelor's degree to the Master of Education
In addition to the information on approval for the Master of Education, the following should be noted when transferring from the combined bachelor's degree to the Master of Education for timely completion of the bachelor's course:
- Four examination offices (elementary school teaching degree and elementary school teaching degree with integrated special education) or three examination offices (other types of teaching degree) are involved in the degree preparation process.
- All required academic achievements must have been completed in each version of degree programme variants.
- The Bachelor's thesis must be registered and handed in on time.
- The Bachelor's thesis has a review period of six weeks. This also applies to other module examinations.
- Processing times for final documents in the examination offices.
- Vacation periods during the lecture-free period.
- It is expected that a larger number of students will want to complete the bachelor course, so that an increased demand at examination offices, Student Counselling Services, etc. can be expected.
Students are therefore advised to contact the examination offices and the first and second examiners in good time.
For BAföG recipients, the (personal) last performance (Bachelor's thesis, module examination or study achievements) should not be handed in before the beginning of August (if the Bachelor course is completed in the Summer semester) or before the beginning of February (if the Bachelor course is completed in the Winter semester) in order to be able to receive BAföG in the last two months of the Bachelor course. To be on the safe side, please consult your responsible examination office.
