Information on the internships/SPÜ:
-
The planned internships (Blockpraktika) at the end of the summer semester 2021 (September) and the SPÜ in the winter semester 21/22 (from November) will take place regularly. Please arrange the specific organisation of the internships individually with the contact persons in the schools and the university supervisors in the appropriate time, but in any case before the completion of the internships.
Basically, the following applies:
- as schools are back in regular session, the internships will take place in face-to-face. Currently, the 3G rule applies in all schools, i.e. you are obliged to present a negative test updated on the day (or to be tested at school, if necessary) or to provide proof of full vaccination or recovery. Masks are also mandatory.
- In case schools have to be partially or completely closed again, you can, ideally, carry out the internship digitally or provide a substitute performance in cooperation with your school. In such a case, please contact the respective contact persons at the schools and your respective subject didactics individually.
The current situation will not result in any disadvantages for you! However, we strongly recommend that you carry out your internships and SPÜ in one of the variants just mentioned and avoid postponing them to later semesters.
