Social Sciences Continuation Subject (Secondary and Comprehensive Schools ('Haupt-', 'Real-', 'Sekundar-' and 'Gesamtschule')) (wenn mit Ba-Arbeit)
FsB vom 02.05.2014 mit Änderung vom 05.09.2016
Das Studium der Sozialwissenschaften ist als ein zugleich fachspezifisches und fächerübergreifendes Studium der Soziologie, der Politikwissenschaft und der Wirtschaftswissenschaften angelegt. Die Studierenden erwerben grundlegendes Wissen über Fragestellungen, Theorien und Methoden der drei genannten Fächer sowie die Fähigkeit, dieses Wissen anwenden und vermitteln zu können.
Durch die Kombination der drei Fächer Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft und Wirtschaftswissenschaften vermittelt das Studium die Kompetenz, unterschiedliche Beobachtungsperspektiven auf die Gesellschaft, ihre sozialen Systeme und die dort handelnden Personen einzunehmen. Die Fähigkeit, Sachverhalte aus mehreren Blickwinkeln zu betrachten und diese Perspektiven zu integrieren, ist ein wichtiger Teil des Wissenskapitals von Sozialwissenschaftlerinnen und Sozialwissenschaftlern.
Die Masterphase dient zum einen dem Erwerb vertieften sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachwissens und seiner interdisziplinären Integration. Zum anderen steht die Entwicklung berufsqualifizierender Fähigkeiten, Handlungskompetenzen und Kenntnisse im Zentrum. Dazu trägt das fachdidaktische Modul Vorbereitung/Reflexion des Praxissemesters bei. Das Praxissemester verbindet die fachwissenschaftlichen und die fachdidaktischen Studienanteile.

Access requirements
Access requirements
Access to the Master of Education is granted to those who can provide evidence that they have a first university degree which has a standard period of study of at least six semesters and qualifies them a for profession. Whether the first degree provides suitable access also depends on the kind of teaching qualification to be pursued.
A first degree for a subsequent Master of Education programme with the professional goal of a teaching qualification is generally given if the Bachelor degree was completed at Bielefeld University (according to the Bachelor Examination Regulations (German ‘BPO’) for the 2011 study model) with a corresponding orientation (professional goal and choice of subjects).
Other degrees may be accepted if applicants can provide evidence of academic achievements for the intended teaching qualification that are substantially equivalent to those of the above-mentioned bachelor degree. For example, these can be degrees
- granting a teaching qualification for a different school type,
- with a different choice of subjects,
- with a subject-specific orientation (i.e. degrees that do not encompass a teaching qualification)
- a degree from another university.
Access to the Master of Education may be subject to the completion of alignment studies. The fulfilment of the access requirements is checked in each case during the application procedure.
The exact regulations for the access procedure can be found in the examination and study regulations for the Master programme (see navigation).
Access to the preparatory service (German ‘Referendariat’) requires knowledge of two foreign languages. This is usually provided via the German ‘Abitur’. The Bielefeld School of Education (BiSEd) counselling service will respond to further questions.
