| Years 12/13: Courses leading to university entrance qualifications This course is of two years duration. It is divided into the Intensive Courses covering the major topics and the Basic Courses for the necessary subsidiary topics. The topics in the Intensive Courses (5 hours per week each) are more advanced and the subject matter is dealt with more extensively. In these subjects there is a written examination at advanced level as part of the 'Abitur', Germany's school-leaving examination at the end of secondary education (the equivalent to A-Levels or high school graduation). Students choose 2 subjects at Intensive Courses-level which they study for two years. All other subjects are taught as Basic Courses (3 hours per week for each topic). Compulsory subjects in German 6th forms are: German, English or another foreign language (usually French), History, Social Studies, Religious Education or Ethics, Maths and at least one Natural Science (Biology, Physics, or Chemistry), Music or Arts or Drama, and Sports. In addition to their intensive subjects students have to choose two out of the subjects taught at Basic Courses-level for their final examination, one written and one oral. Altogether 4 Intensive Courses and 24 Basic Courses have to be completed during the two year course. In year twelve most subjects are taught in fixed groups or classes. However in some subjects individual courses can be chosen. On average a 6th former attends 35 lessons per week. |
