Student services during my MEd UF Englisch studies

This page centralises the essentials for your MEd UF English studies. Use the contents below to find guidance, deadlines, tools, and contacts. Each section explains what to do and where to get support. Not sure which office handles your question? Start right below with “Who will help me and when?”

There are three main offices supporting the administrative side of your studies: The SSS Anglistik (student services within the Department of English and American Studies) is responsible for issues and questions concerning your studies at the Department of English and American studies. The SPL12 is the directorate of studies at the English Department. The Philologisch-Kulturwissenschaftliches SSC (Studies Service Center), is responsible for all study programmes at our faculty.

Deadlines for handing in final course assignments

At the end of the semester, courses with continuous assessment (pi-Lehrveranstaltung) usually involve a final assignment (portfolio, seminar/bachelor paper, etc.). The deadlines are set individually for each course and are appointed by the lecturer. 

The latest possible date to hand in course assignments for the winter semester is April 30th*.

The latest possible date to hand in course assignments for the summer semester is September 30th. 

Please keep in mind that the final deadlines appointed by teachers can be set earlier than these dates!

*Due to the changes in the period of grace regulation (Nachfrist), students who are not enrolled for the subsequent summer term, should hand in their assignments no later than March 31st (end of the period of grace for the winter term).
