Courses

Generally speaking, special courses for foreign students are not offered at the Seminar of Translating and Interpreting. We recommend students, however, to also consider courses offered throughout the University of Heidelberg. Both the Seminar for German as a Second Langauge (IDF, Ploeck 55) and the Central Language Lab (ZSL, Ploeck 79-81), as well as the Institute for Political Sciences (IPW, Marstallstraße 6) and all of the seminars in Philology may be of interest.

 

Allocation of ECTS credits

The ECTS credits are recorded in the transcript of records. As the courses at the SUED generally only run for one semester, all the ECTS credits are recorded per semester.
 

Active participation  in classes is assessed, as appropriate.

 
The average number of ECTS credits required are 30 per semester, i.e. 60 per academic year. Only the workload is assessed, not the mark attained.

 

Lecture	SWS	ECTS-Punkte (credits)
Lecture with final oral	2	5
Seminar (Proseminar and Hauptseminar); Participation also may include presenting a short paper	2	10
Class (Übung)	2	5

Class participation is assessed identically for the Grundstudium and Hauptstudium and for all three degree programmes. This also includes inter-departmental classes at the SUED and subsidiary subject lectures.

Grading Scale

 
The students' grades are assessed during the courses and in the degree examinations according to the following scale:

1 - very good
2 - good
3 - satisfactory
4 - sufficient
5 - insufficient

The required pass mark for all exams is a minimum of 4.0, on a scale of 4 to 1.
