Creating a schedule for teaching degree programs – tips and advice

At the beginning of the degree program, the ZfL and ZSB offer timetable workshops for teaching degree programs – participation is strongly recommended.

Please note:

The GOP is structured differently in teaching degree programs, depending on the type of school. This must be taken into account when creating your schedule. More detailed information can be found in the LAPO.

The following tips may also be helpful when you are drawing up your schedule:

  • General information on drawing up a schedule is available on the FAU website.
  • The linked video may also be helpful.
  • The brochure “Lehramtsstudium kompakt” (LAKOM) provides information and details of how to plan for the GOP.
  • The LAPO lists the minimum GOP modules for the respective school types.
  • Check the examination regulations to determine which specific modules are required for the GOP and take a note of them. If no specific modules are specified, modules can be selected from the module schedule in the appendix to the relevant examination regulations (PO).
  • If the GOP modules do not add up to 40 ECTS, it is up to you to choose further modules to fill your “GOP account”.
  • The GOP planning page in the “Lehramtsstudium kompakt” (LAKOM) brochure can be used to keep track of the GOP modules.
  • Check the module schedules within the examination regulations to determine which modules are recommended for the first semester. These are not mandatory, but should be taken into account whenever possible. You can keep track of the classes you need by noting them on planning page 1 for the first subject semester in the brochure “Lehramtsstudium kompakt” (LAKOM).
