As German universities did not begin to offer Bachelor degrees on a noticeable scale before 2007, the concept of “undergraduate research” is relatively new to German Higher Education discourse and policy. This chapter examines how the Bologna Reform process and the introduction of a two-cycle BA/MA degree system between 2000 and 2010 impacted a system with a rich, but somewhat outmoded tradition in student research, based on the Humboldtian model of research universities of the early nineteenth century. It highlights how policy initiatives such as the Quality Pact for Teaching (QPT) have facilitated new approaches to research-based teaching and learning in German Higher Education since 2012 and introduces a number of the research-based learning projects and models resulting from this policy initiative. |
