Self-Assessment for Teacher Training Degrees
When applying for a bachelor’s degree program in teacher training, you must upload proof that you have taken part in an anonymous online self-assessment (OSA). The outcome of the OSA has no influence whatsoever on the selection procedure for teacher training degree programs at Universität Hamburg. The purpose is to inspire reflection upon your choice of study. There are 4 teacher training-specific OSAs that you can access at https://lehramt.check.uni-hamburg.de.
To take part in the Career Counselling for Teachers OSA, proceed as follows:
- Go to https://lehramt.check.uni-hamburg.de..

- Complete all of the OSA tasks.
- You can download proof of participation after you have completed all of the tasks. When you finish, upload this when you apply online.
