Please note: The Mono Bachelor Educational Science is instructed in German. Sufficient German knowledge is a key requirement for successful admission! We do our best to keep the English version of the Examination Office's website up to date. If you are able to, we advise you to refer to the German version as well.

What is Educational Science concerned with?

For an initial overview of the course content, the structure of the program, day-to-day study, the application process and more, we recommend the online course selection assistant (OSA - only in German) to those interested. There is also a flyer available that summarizes all essential information.

Starting winter semester 23/24 the new study and examination regulations 2023 (only in German) as well as the new admission requirements (only in German) will apply to the Bachelor's degree Educational Science. These are valid for all newly enrolled students from winter semester 23/24.

I am interested in studying Educational Science, what happens next?

The mono Bachelor's degree Educational Science is a study course with restricted admission. Therefore certain admission requirements must be met in order to apply. Admission is generally based on specific quotas (see admission regulations).

All relevant information on the application process (application portals, required documents, etc.) can be found through the Freie Universität Berlin website under "Application".

For more specific questions, e.g. about maternity protection, there is a counseling guide (only in German) that lists all relevant contact points at the university.

What happens if I want to continue a course I have already started?

Students who have already begun a degree program in Educational Science or an equivalent at another German university can continue their studies at Freie Universität Berlin. In this case, you should apply for a higher semester.

For a non-binding preliminary assessment (no binding recognition!) of the appropriate semester to apply to, please contact the Examination Office.
