There is no degree programme that does not involve sitting examinations at some point. This makes it all the more important that students acquaint themselves with the administrative system (Board of Examiners) and how examinations are set and organised.

Most degree programmes of the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies require that students complete at least one internship in Germany or abroad. For details on the requirements of the individual Bachelor's and Master's programmes, contact the Career Service. Furthermore, the Faculty has Internship Officers, whose responsibility is to assess your completed work placement.

Planning and organising a study or work period abroad can be daunting task. We are keen to give you our best support and recommend that you attend one of the initial guidance sessions offered by the International Office.

To ensure that your assessments completed abroad count towards your degree in Passau, you should conclude an individual learning agreement  before you go abroad.
