General information
The Initial Teaching Practice (ASP) must be completed as part of the Bachelor of Education and Teaching and the dual-subject Bachelor's degree programs by all students who are aiming to become a teacher.
There are no requirements as to when the internship must be completed.
However, it is recommended to complete it during the lecture-free period between the 3rd and 4th or 4th and 5th semester.
The internship is prepared in the semester before the start of the internship by a one-semester course, which is compulsory. The internship should then give students the opportunity to get to know the institution of school as a professional field, to test and prove themselves in working with pupils, to learn to assess their own skills and to reflect intensively on what they have experienced.

Necessity of proof of measles vaccination protection!
A new measles protection law has been in force since March 2020.
This includes, among other things, that all persons born after 1970 who are cared for or work in a community facility (e.g. school, daycare center) must either provide proof of sufficient measles vaccination protection or immunity against measles.
This means that all students who complete an internship in a school (or daycare center) must also provide proof of sufficient measles vaccination protection or immunity against measles to the school management before starting the internship.
This can be fulfilled by submitting a vaccination card with a corresponding entry or by submitting a medical certificate.
