Compulsory courses feature the basic professional knowledge and skills of the field of study. The structure and the requirements of required courses are identical in both programmes - German studies as a single field as well as in combination with other fields of study. In the Bachelor's degree, students are obliged to get 48 ECTS points for required courses (including practical language).

Selective courses are chosen by students according to their personal and professional preferences. There is a difference between programmes: students of German as a single field have to collect more ECTS points from selective courses than those who do German in combination with another field of study.

Remaining ECTS points should be collected from any courses that are currently open for inscription, both at the Department of German and in the whole of Masaryk University.

It is possible for students to compose their plan of study in each semester by themselves. However, there also is a recommendation for them to follow ("Recommended course of study") regarding especially the required courses. The recommendation can be found in the Study catalogues.

The Bachelor's exam consists of defending the Bachelor's thesis (if it is part of the given field of study) and passing the oral exam in the field of study in question.

The topic of the Bachelor's thesis can be located in any discipline belonging in the field of study, including the disciplines that are shared by all the individual programmes (pedagogy, psychology).

The final Bachelor's graduation examination consists of questions from linguistics, literature and history and the basics of methodology of German as a foreign language.
