Why should I study this course of study? During my research for a suitable course of study, I dealt intensively with this question. Already in my youth I was involved in child and youth work and could imagine pursuing this path professionally. It was important to me not to commit myself to a specific area in the social sector in advance.
The special feature of the Bachelor's degree program in Educational Science: For me, inclusion and diversity were the interlinking of theory and practice. I was particularly interested in the opportunity to gain practical experience during my studies and to find out whether the pedagogical career path is suitable for me. In addition, the experiences in the accompanying events were reflected on a theory-based basis. This made it clear to me why the theories and topics of the events are relevant for practical work. Particularly sustainable for my entry into professional life were, for example, the courses on role theory and reflection.
I found the manageable group size of about 40 students per cohort to be extremely pleasant. Through events attended together, one quickly got to know one's fellow students, formed joint working groups and was able to make new friends.
Another advantage is the support of the students. The lecturers are helpful and are always available to help with questions or difficulties. The open communication and commitment of the lecturers create a trusting atmosphere that promotes studying and exchange within the study community.
After completing my bachelor's degree, I decided to pursue my master's degree in "Education and Social Affairs" at the University of Siegen and was then able to successfully enter as a consultant for career orientation and choice.
Overall, I can recommend the course to anyone who is interested in the various facets of pedagogy, is open to the theory-based reflection of practical experiences during their studies and appreciates events in small groups.
