History degree programmes

Teacher training degree programmes

The timetable of the teacher training courses is structured in a way that the order in which you study the five (basic) modules (Antiquity/Medieval Ages/Early Modern History/Modern History/Contemporary History) can vary according to your preferences. Therefore, when planning your studies, you are not constrained by the chronological sequence of the epochs. Please note that in any case passing the preliminary examination requirements (Prüfungsvorleistung - PVL) of a module is a prerequisite necessary to registering for and take the examination/writing the seminar paper. Already completed ungraded PVLs do not expire and may be used to gain credits in following semesters.

Tips on the application for the recognition of examined assessments

  • 1) Make a first appointment with studienberatung-geschichte-la@​mailbox.tu-dresden.de for the official office hours of the academic advisory service.
  • 2) Complete in digital form page 1 of the form Antrag auf Anrechnung von Prüfungsleistungen and send the whole document as a pdf file (Titel: name, first name, Anerkennung.pdf) by the date agreed upon to studienberatung-geschichte-la@​mailbox.tu-dresden.de. Please also consider and note in advance in which modules of the desired State Examination programme (including details of the new examination and module number) the examination results you have achieved should be credited. (See Study regulations of the teacher degree programmes, Examination synopsis IfG (as of: 14th May 2021))
  • 3) On the agreed date, please bring with you the certificates of all the examined assessments achieved so far (in original or certified copy).

    In order to explain the qualifications you have already acquired, please also bring with you further suitable documents which describe the content of the examined assessments to be credited (e.g. module descriptions of your study regulations, proof of concrete learning and examination contents of individual courses via semester plans, annotations from the course catalogue, copies/digital copies of examined assessments (essays/seminar papers/..., confirmation by the lecturer/certificates, etc.).These are necessary in particular for the assignment of examinations to the epoch-related basis modules (Antiquity/Middle Ages/Early Modern History/Modern History/Contemporary History).

... in the epoch-specific basis modules (Antiquity/Middle Ages/Early Modern History/Modern History/Contemporary History) of the teacher training degree programmes


PLEASE NOTE

  • Valid as of winter semester 2018/19 for all students enrolled in the State Examination degree programmes.
  • Examination prerequisites and examinations already completed before the 2018/19 winter semester as well as completed modules remain valid.

NOTES

  • The examination prerequisite is an ungraded collection of two assignments accompanying the modules:
    - Assignment 1 should be completed within the framework of a lecture or exercise (1st module semester),
    - Assignment 2 should be completed within the framework of a seminar (2nd module semester) in preparation for the examined assessment (seminar paper).
  • The examination prerequisite is passed if both assignments are passed.
    The respective teacher will certify the passing of the assignment on the form Formblatt für die Anerkennung der Sammlung modulbegleitender Übungsaufgaben (=Laufzettel).
    - With the submission/performance of assignment 1, you submit the Laufzettel to the teacher of the lecture or exercise for signature. You will then keep the form!
    - With the submission/performance of assignment 2, you submit the Laufzettel to the teacher of the seminar (=Proseminar) for signature. The form will then be kept by the teacher!
  • Registration for the Prüfungsvorleistung is only done in the 2nd module semester (registration period 1) via HISQIS with the teacher of the Proseminar, in which the assignment 2 of the examination prerequisite was done, and where subsequently the examined assessment (seminar paper) will be written.
    This teacher has the completed form documenting the examination prerequisites.
    - that means: during the lecture or exercise you do not register for a Prüfungsvorleistung in HISQIS!
  • Passing the Prüfungsvorleistung is a prerequisite for the registration for the examined assessment (seminar paper) in the 2nd module semester (registration period 2) in HISQIS, and for the acceptance by the teacher of the Proseminar.
    So please note that the crediting of the Prüfungsvorleistung must take place before the beginning of the registration period 2 in the 2nd module semester.

Information about final theses and oral State examinations

You would like to write your Bachelor's, Master's or State Examination thesis at the Chair of Modern and Contemporary History and Didactics of History? 
Then please contact the desired supervisor (Dr. Frank Britsche, Mathias Herrmann, Martin Reimer) well in advance. You will arrange everything else in a personal conversation.

Bachelor's/Master's thesis

  • General information about Bachelor's and Master's theses in the subject History can be found on the website of the Examination Office PHF/SLK

  • Master lab History

    The Master lab (Master-Werkstatt) serves for the preparation of the Master's thesis and includes a graded exposé in the module PhF-Hist-MASM3. The Master lab is offered each semester. The modalities for the exposé, which should ideally be submitted before the Master's thesis, will be discussed individually between the supervisor and the candidate. These preparatory discussions and your time and effort for preparing the writing process correspond to the Master lab.
