Sources
- Available degree programs https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/study/finding-a-course/degree-programs-available/
Programme-directory elements: bachelor, state-examination and subject-combination options.
The degree filters explicitly distinguish Bachelor (major subject), Bachelor (minor subject), and Bachelor (mono), but these are programme-catalogue categories rather than evidence of major choice after enrolment.
- Application for Bachelor Programmes https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/study/application-and-enrollment/bachelors-degree/
The admissions guidance states that in a monobachelor, application and enrolment are for one main subject, while in a combined degree programme they are for one major and one minor subject.
If an enrolled student wishes to change the course of study, the page points to a transfer form. This is negative evidence against programChoice above 0.
- Study models https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/studium/studienangebot/studienmodelle/
The study-models page describes mono-study and combination-study routes.
In the combination bachelor, students enroll in a major subject and a minor subject; usually 99 ECTS go to the major, 60 ECTS to the minor, and 21 ECTS to the ÜKO block.
This model is not counted as programChoice = 3: the source describes the structure of a predefined Studiengang, not regular in-study major and minor choice.
- Transdisciplinary Competencies https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/study/finding-a-course/transdisciplinary-competencies/
The transdisciplinary competencies block is embedded in bachelor curricula and mandatory to the extent set by examination regulations.
Competencies can be earned through the Transdisciplinary Course Program, certificates, civic engagement, creditable internships and other university-institution options, confirming a free-elective route beyond the major/minor structure.
