19.05 What should be considered in the regulation sample - apart from teacher training and theology?

If the higher education institution offers study programmes that also prepare students for a regulated profession, one of these must be included in the random samples, taking into account all formal and academic criteria (Section 31 (3) MRVO).

In addition to the separately regulated teacher training courses and theology courses (see FAQ 17.6 and 19.06), study programmes that prepare students for a regulated profession within the meaning of Section 31 (3) MRVO only include those regulated study programmes for which a professional licensing body must be involved in the peer-review procedure by law. This is implicit in Section 31 para. 3 sentence 2 and applies, for example, to study programmes in psychotherapy (see Law on the Profession of Psychotherapist – PsychThG) or – depending on the state regulations – to study programmes in social work (see, for example, the Hesse Social Professions Recognition Act). If the higher education institution offers study programmes of this type, one of these study programmes is to be considered as an example in the regulation sample.
