Extracurricular and interdisciplinary qualifications (Außerfachliche und überfachliche Qualifikationen) include the language education as well as further soft skills and internships.

Proof of the module English (CEFR level B2) should be completed until the end of the 3rd semester. Proof of this is provided by language certificates in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, at least level B2 of the Council of Europe, and certificates issued by a German university are recognised in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Exceptions are decided by the examination board. Recognition requires that the original language certificate is submitted. The preparation of a thesis in a foreign language, e.g. English, cannot be recognized as evidence in this module, since the examiners do not check the student's own performance in a foreign language during the preparation of the thesis. The Viadrina Language Center offers numerous language courses and the corresponding exams.

In particular, in the module "further soft skills" (Weitere Softskills) the students should be taught social skills such as communication skills, ability to cooperate, sense of responsibility and consciousness, reliability. In addition, however, personal skills such as concentration, the ability to learn, independent learning, endurance and accuracy are also to be trained here. The Career Center, the Center for Teaching and Learning (Zentrum für Lehre und Lernen) as well as other institutions of the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) offers numerous trainings, seminars and lectures for students every semester. Please select the required number of events from the list to prove the necessary credits in this module. Offers and further information can be found in the Viadrina Compass.

nternships outside the university serve to introduce the students to the problems and areas of responsibility of their future professional field. The internship must be related to the content of the economic studies. The main focus of the activity must correspond to the (strived for) economic education and related occupational fields. For further information, please refer to the guideline for the implementation and recognition of student internships in the degree programmes of the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder). The Career Center of the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) is the central contact point for all questions concerning internships. It supports students in their search for an internship, organising an internship abroad and answering questions about internship contracts.

• English (CEFR level B2) with 12 Credits

• Further soft skills and Internships with 15 Credits

In their bachelor thesis, students demonstrate that they are capable of independently applying scientific methods and writing texts that meet scientific requirements in their field of study.

A prerequisite for admission to the bachelor thesis is that students have successfully completed creditable study and examination achievements in the amount of, as a rule, at least 75 percent of the credits required for the successful completion of the programme as a whole, less credit points for the bachelor thesis. This corresponds to 126 credits.

Please note that the individual chairs may also have additional requirements for a supervision agreement. Only if you meet these requirements can you be looked after at these chairs. Please check the website of the individual chairs in good time.
