What is the component affiliative courses?
The affiliative course credits (30 ECTS) make up a part of this single-subject bachelor's degree. Here, in addition to the actual educational focus in their course of studies, students can add to their professional profile. It can be helpful to ask yourself questions or create mind maps for ideas on how you could structure your affiliative courses. The handout "What are initial considerations?" (only in German) can be used as a first general guideline.
For students of the BA Educational Science, this means, that they can choose additional modules or modules from the wide range of subjects from the entire range of courses at Freie Universität Berlin.
What opportunities do affiliative courses over?
In the affinity area, students have the opportunity to gain insights into other subjects that interest them in addition to educational science, to supplement their own specialization or to develop a second specialization. The affiliative area can also be useful with regard to later professional goals.
