Linguistics and cultural studies service

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linguistic and cultural studies service in Germany describes a group of careers for civil servants who require related training and education . The range of tasks primarily includes official business that requires training in the humanities . Typically, only a limited range of uses is required for the career paths. ( Appendix 2 of the AVwV to the FSVO ).

In the federal government , careers in the linguistic and cultural studies service can be set up in all career groups ( Section 6 (2 ) FSVO ). Therefore, the following career paths can exist:

  • simple linguistic and cultural studies service
  • intermediate linguistic and cultural studies service
  • upscale linguistic and cultural studies service
  • higher linguistic and cultural studies service

The federal government does not have a career in simple linguistic and cultural studies.

Career qualification

The career qualification for a career in the linguistic and cultural studies service is usually achieved through recognition or through successful completion of a subject-specific preparatory service (career training). For the recognition of the career qualification for the careers of the upper and higher linguistic and cultural studies service a corresponding subject group 01 “Humanities” according to the university statistics of the Federal Statistical Office is required. These include, for example, theology , philosophy , history , archeology , library studies , classical philology , literary studies , German studies , English studies , Romance studies , Slavic studies , Islamic studies and ethnology . For the intermediate linguistic and cultural studies service, for example, vocational training as an assistant - technical communication and documentation, as an interpreter / translator , as a medical documentary or as a medical documentation assistant is required. ( Appendix 2 of the AVwV to the FSVO ). Since December 22, 2017, the subjects of librarianship , education and communication , psychology and journalism are no longer assigned to the linguistic and cultural studies service, but to the non-technical administration service. A change in the university statistics was thus reproduced ( AVwV to the FSVO ).

For admission to the higher linguistic and cultural studies service, a bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree acquired at a university, in connection with a doctorate or full-time employment of at least two years and six months, can be taken into account instead of a master 's degree . In the case of admission on the basis of the qualification bachelor and several years of professional experience, proof of a full-time activity of five years is required. The full-time occupation must correspond to the career of the higher linguistic and cultural studies service in terms of subject area and difficulty of the activity of a civil servant ( Section 23 (4 ) FSVO ). In the school supervisory service of the Bundeswehr technical schools up to salary group A 15 and as a teacher at Bundeswehr technical schools up to salary group A 14, those who only meet the requirements for a career in the senior service can be admitted to the career of the higher linguistic and cultural studies service ( Section 23, Paragraph 7 FSVO ).

Service and office titles

Members of a career in the linguistic and cultural studies service who are employed in archives or libraries generally have a basic job title with the prefix “Archive” or “Biblioteks”, e.g. B. "Senior Archives Council". The official designations "Museum main office assistant" ( salary group A 3) and "Museum office master" (salary group A 4) will no longer apply.

Established specialist preparation services

For careers in the linguistic and cultural studies service, the subject-specific preparatory service “ Higher service at federal academic libraries ” is set up in the federal government only in the career of the higher linguistic and cultural studies service ( Annex 2 FSVO ).
