In the Bachelor's programme, you combine the main subject Primary Education (old: Primary and Elementary Education) with a minor subject relevant to the teaching profession. In the Bachelor's degree, you study the pure subjects; only in the Master of Education is school practice added in addition to the subject content.
You can apply for the admission-restricted major Primary Education and your chosen minor subject from 1 May to 15 July.
The Bachelor's degree is followed by the Master of Education Primary schools.
On the basis of a corresponding bachelor's programme, the Master's programme "Master of Education Primary schools" prepares you for the teaching qualification for the subjects German and Mathematics (basic subjects) as well as at least one further subject (special subject). On the one hand, you will gain knowledge about the social framework conditions of school and teaching and, on the other hand, you will develop competences that will enable you to plan, implement and reflect on subject- and school-type-related processes of teaching and learning in a theory-based manner.
In the Master's programme, school practice is reinforced. Apply what you have learned in the various internships.
