#00:00:00-0# - #00:00:16-0#: Hello and welcome to the Faculty of Humanities! On behalf of the entire Dean of Studies, I would like to welcome you to Georg August University. In this video, I will explain to you how to create a timetable for the two-subject Bachelor's degree. For this purpose, I will deal with these questions in the following: 

#00:00:17-0# - #00:00:19-0#: How do I go about creating a timetable? 

#00:00:19-0# - #00:00:22-0#: What do I need to create a timetable? 

#00:00:22-0# - #00:00:28-0#: Where can I find the exemplary study plan and where can I find the module directory? 

#00:00:28-0# - #00:00:31-0#: How do I find out when and where the events take place? 

#00:00:31-0# - #00:00:33-0#: Where do I have to register? 

#00:00:33-0# - #00:00:37-0#: And last but not least, I have questions, who can I contact? 

#00:00:37-0# - #00:00:55-0#: So how do I go about creating a timetable? As a rule of thumb, you should first choose the smaller subject, i.e. the one with fewer students, and then the larger subject. You have more choice of courses in the larger subjects and can then build them around the course in the smaller subject. 

#00:00:55-0# - #00:01:01-0#: Examples of major subjects are German studies/German, history, English or philosophy. 

#00:01:01-0# - #00:01:10-0#: Another rule of thumb is that you should take about 30 credits per semester if you plan to complete your studies in the standard period of study. 

#00:01:11-0# - #00:01:34-0#: So what do I need to create the timetable? You need four tools: the exemplary study plan for your subject, the module directory, EXA and StudIP. Before I show you where to find these tools and how to use them, I would like to explain the structure of the two-subject Bachelor's programme, which you can see here in a graphic. 

#00:01:34-0# - #00:02:02-0#: The two-subject Bachelor's degree consists roughly of three sub-areas, namely the subject area, the professionalisation area and the Bachelor's thesis. These three areas add up to 180 credits. 132 credits of this are allotted to the subject area, which in turn is divided into your two subjects, i.e. subject A and subject B, each of which you study equally for 66 credits. This is also what we call the core curriculum. 

#00:02:02-0# - #00:02:32-0#: This video will focus exclusively on the core curriculum. However, you will also need to cover the other areas in order to complete your degree. If you are looking for more information on the structure of the two-subject Bachelor's programme, you can find it on the websites shown here. In addition, this link will take you to the homepage of the Student Advisory Service, where you will find an information video on creating a timetable from the second semester onwards. In the video, you will learn more about the professionalisation area as well as other tips for creating your timetable. 

#00:02:32-0# - #00:03:06-0#: In the first step of creating a timetable, you will need the exemplary study plan. You can find it on the university homepage. Please start at www.uni-goettingen.de. If you then click on the "Studies" tab, you will find the subjects of study from A to Z. You will find the subjects of our faculty under the tabs Humanities and Cultural Studies and Languages and Teacher Training. I decided to make this video using philosophy as an example. Which is why I simply scroll down to the subject Philosophy: Bachelor, two subjects. 

#00:03:06-0# - #00:03:19-0#: Once you have clicked on your subject, you will find valuable information. Under the tab "Study structure" you will find the regulations and module lists. 

#00:03:19-0# - #00:03:38-0#: Many different documents are linked here, all of which have to do with your studies. However, only documents one and two, i.e. the Examination and Study Regulations: Subject-Specific Regulations, and the List of Modules, are important for creating a timetable. For student teachers, however, the fourth document is also important. 

#00:03:38-0# - #00:03:46-0#: First, please open the examination and study regulations. A PDF document opens here, and I recommend that you read it carefully. 

#00:03:46-0# - #00:03:57-0#: If you scroll to the end, you will find exemplary study plans. These show us in which order various modules can ideally be completed. 

#00:03:57-0# - #00:04:17-0#: In this case, the subject Philosophy is combined with the subject Scandinavian Studies and at the end you will find a recommendation for the professionalisation area. As the name "exemplary study plan" suggests, this is an example plan that you can follow, but do not have to. You can, of course, adapt it to your individual needs. 

#00:04:18-0# - #00:04:27-0#: The modules highlighted in blue are those of the subject Philosophy, and they always read it from line to line. 

#00:04:27-0# - #00:04:40-0#: Today, we are only interested in the first semester. Here you can see two modules with a blue background, for example the module B.Phi.01 - the basic module "Theoretical Philosophy". 

#00:04:41-0# - #00:04:54-0#: We already know the name and the number of credits of the module, but the contents or the conditions of the module, for example, how many courses it has and which admission requirements are necessary, can be found in the module directory. 

#00:04:55-0# - #00:05:07-0#: For your timetable, you always need the latest module list. In it, you will first find an alphabetical list of all modules in the subject and then, in the next step, an overview according to module groups. 

#00:05:08-0# - #00:05:17-0#: Under the item Roman One you will find the core curriculum. As mentioned at the beginning, this is the 66 credits that you must fulfil in order to successfully complete the degree programme. 

#00:05:17-0# - #00:05:28-0#: In this case, we find our module B.Phi.01 among the so-called compulsory modules. That is, among the modules that you must complete in any case. 

#00:05:28-0# - #00:05:31-0#: You can now click on this module. 

#00:05:31-0# - #00:05:51-0#: Once you have done this, you will arrive at the so-called module description. Here you get information about the module. On the one hand, the name of the module, the workload, the learning objectives and competences, and very importantly, in the middle of the document you will always find information about the courses you have to take. 

#00:05:51-0# - #00:06:09-0#: In this case, the first is an introductory course in theoretical philosophy in the format of a lecture or seminar, in which you have to write an exam. Secondly, you have to take a proseminar on theoretical philosophy. Here you have the choice between the three forms of examination: Written examination, term paper or essay. 

#00:06:09-0# - #00:06:26-0#: Further below you will find information on the admission requirements. In this case, no prerequisites are defined. In the further course of the degree programme, however, it is possible that access requirements are defined for other modules. These must then be met. 

#00:06:26-0# - #00:06:38-0#: You will also find information on the frequency of courses or, for example, the duration of the module. So we now know that you have to take two courses. Now we have to find out when and where they take place. 

#00:06:39-0# - #00:06:50-0#: To do this, you need the course catalogue EXA. To do so, please go to the eCampus homepage at eCampus.uni-goettingen.de and click on the so-called "Burger Menu" in the upper left corner. 

#00:06:50-0# - #00:06:57-0#: You can access the course catalogue via the tab "Studienangebot" by clicking on "Vorlesungsverzeichnis anzeigen". 

#00:06:58-0# - #00:07:00-0#: The course catalogue opens. 

#00:07:00-0# - #00:07:11-0#: Please note that you have your own structure tree in the teaching profession profile, under which you will find most of the courses including the models of the professionalisation area. 

#00:07:12-0# - #00:07:20-0#: If you are not studying to become a teacher, scroll down to the Faculty of Philosophy and click on the arrow. Now the offer of our faculty opens. 

#00:07:20-0# - #00:07:24-0#: Now you choose your subject, in our case philosophy. 

#00:07:26-0# - #00:07:35-0#: You see that you can choose between the core curriculum and other study programmes. In the core curriculum, a distinction is made between compulsory modules and compulsory elective modules. 

#00:07:35-0# - #00:07:44-0#: From the module directory, we know that the module we are looking for is one of the compulsory modules. Now you can access the course. 

#00:07:44-0# - #00:07:54-0#: If you click on the module you are looking for, you will see the various courses on offer. Here you must now select the offered introductory course and a proseminar. 

#00:07:54-0# - #00:08:07-0#: When you click on an event, you will receive information about the language, the times, the lecturers and much more. You should also read the commentary carefully to find out the content of the event. 

#00:08:07-0# - #00:08:12-0#: The medal symbol shows them the examinations offered for your course or also for the entire module. 

#00:08:12-0# - #00:08:25-0#: In EXA, you can also explicitly search for events. To do this, go back to the eCampus homepage and this time select the tab "Search for events" under Study programmes. 

#00:08:25-0# - #00:08:34-0#: On this page you can search for a possible search parameter such as event number, title, lecturer and event type by selecting Search terms. 

#00:08:34-0# - #00:08:44-0#: Via the option Semester you can select the relevant semesters, and via the option Date Groups you can select specific semester-dependent event dates. 

#00:08:44-0# - #00:08:58-0#: In addition, the results can be restricted under "advanced search" and specified by means of further input parameters. For example, the semester-dependent title, the semester and the lecturers were determined as search parameters. 

#00:08:58-0# - #00:09:10-0#: If you are looking for more information on the symbols and functions of EXA, you can find an explanatory video here and also a PDF file from IT in which the various symbols are explained. 

#00:09:11-0# - #00:09:20-0#: In order to be able to create your timetable, you need the course number from the course catalogue. Mark it and copy it. 

#00:09:20-0# - #00:09:29-0#: Then you log in to eCampus via the homepage with your login data and then select StudIP. 

#00:09:31-0# - #00:09:42-0#: You can now insert the number in the tab at the top right. You will then be taken to the course, if it has already been activated, and can register for it directly via "Access to the course". 

#00:09:42-0# - #00:09:50-0#: Please note that there are special registration rules in some cases. In some cases, registration is only possible at certain times. You must keep this in mind. 

#00:09:50-0# - #00:10:01-0#: An important note: registration in StudIP does not replace registration in FlexNow. You must register for the exam at the end of each semester in any case in order to be able to take it. 

#00:10:02-0# - #00:10:18-0#: If you have general questions about your studies or timetable, you are welcome to contact the student advisory service of the Faculty of Humanities. If you have more subject-specific questions, i.e. very individual, very detailed concerns, you are welcome to contact the student advisory service for your subject. 

#00:10:18-0# - #00:10:27-0#: Even if you have problems with overlapping courses, especially compulsory courses, there is a contact person in the Dean of Studies Office of the Faculty of Humanities. 

#00:10:27-0# - #00:10:30-0#: All contact details can be found on the homepage. 

#00:10:30-0# - #00:10:34-0#: I now wish you a good start to the semester.
