Phase of Induction and Orientation in Studies (StEOP)
During the first semester of studying Protestant Theology – be it for the full degree (Protestant Theology=“Evangelische Fachtheologie”) or the teaching degree (“Lehramt Unterrichtsfach Evangelische Religion”) –, you must pass the exams of the StEOP-courses and earn 15 ECTS-credit points (“StEOP” = phase of induction and orientation in studies; StudienEingangs- und OrientierungsPhase)
Other courses and exams can only be completed after having passed all StEOP-exams successfully. StEOP-exams can be repeated three times.
