Course Details

With the completion of the Master of Education Primary School, you acquire an application-oriented, scientific professional qualification for working as a primary school teacher. On the basis of a corresponding bachelor's degree, you will be prepared in the master's programme for the teaching qualification for:

the teaching subjects German, mathematics, subject teaching (basic subjects) and
a fourth subject (main subject) is prepared.

In doing so, you will gain knowledge about the social framework conditions of school and teaching on the one hand, and on the other hand you will develop competences that enable you to plan, carry out and reflect on subject- and school type-related processes of teaching and learning in a theory-based way. In addition, existing subject-related, didactic or educational science content in an optional area is supplemented and deepened on a scientific-theoretical level and the professional "self" is developed, among other things, through class observation, planning and implementation in the context of various internships.

Career Opportunities

Students in the Master of Education Primary school are mainly prepared for the job of a primary school teacher (primary school teacher).
