B.A. students can be accepted into Language Awareness 1 (Sprachliches Grund- und Aufbaustudium Language) without the OPT, but their grades do not become valid in ZEUS until they have completed the OPT.
For “Lehramt”/UF/B.Ed. students (407), the OPT is a requirement without which they cannot be accepted into Language Awareness 1 (see Module ENA, Placement Test ENA.001).
